AVOIDING Attendants from HELL - A Practical Guide to Finding, Hiring & Keeping Personal Care Attendants. 2nd Edition (Paperback, 2nd ed.)

At some point in our lives, we will all experience the limitations of a disability. Be it a broken bone, stroke or genetic disease, we may need assistance performing those everyday tasks often taken for granted: bathing, brushing our teeth, tying our shoes. Fortunately, most people recover from their injuries and regain full independence. Others, however, are not as lucky. AVOIDING Attendants from HELL- A Practical Guide to Finding, Hiring & Keeping Personal Care Attendants is a how-to guide for those who require life-long assistance with personal care and daily living tasks due to a physical disability. Although these individuals may never be able to go without help, they can learn to manage their care, allowing a greater degree of independence. Toward this end, the disabled individual must learn how to find, hire and keep those paid to assist them: the Personal Care Attendant. The book's author, June Price, has required personal care assistance since birth due to spinal muscular atrophy, a rare neuromuscular disease. Since moving into her first apartment in 1980, she has maintained an independent lifestyle. Her experience managing part-time and live-in help is documented in this clear, concise guide. AVOIDING Attendants from HELL - A Practical Guide to Finding, Hiring & Keeping Personal Care Attendants is a "must read" book for anyone who requires personal assistance services.
