A comprehensive guide for those caring for a loved one nearing the
end of life. Many people seek the comfort and dignity of dying at
home. Advances in pharmacology and hospice care allow the dying to
remain at home relatively free of pain and symptoms, but navigating
professional services, insurance coverage, and family dynamics
often compounds the complexity of this process. Extensively updated
and revised, this third edition of Andrea Sankar's Dying at Home: A
Family Guide for Caregiving provides essential information that
caregivers and dying persons need to navigate this journey.
Featuring contributions by professionals and personal stories from
in-depth case studies of family caregivers, this guide discusses
the challenges, resources, benefits, and barriers to care at home.
With updates on advance care planning, developments in palliative
care medicine, and the availability of legally assisted dying, this
edition discusses how to: - Arrange medical care, nursing, and
ancillary therapies - Understand costs, sources of financial
support, and insurance coverage - Collaborate with health
professionals in the home - Assist in implementing pain management
techniques - Find social and spiritual support, as well as
self-care for caregivers - Handle family dynamics and legal matters
- Collaborate to make complex care and treatment decisions -
Navigate the process of dying and caring for the body after death
