Home-Care-Services Books

I received my purchase in good condition and in a timely manner. I would recommend this service to others. Thank you.

This is a great book for all who work with the elderly. I would also encourage people to purchase the video. I am a Staff Development Coordinator in a Subacute facility. I have this scheduled for a inservice training later in the month. Enjoy

This book really helped me in my second semester of the respiratory Program, I wish I'd had it in my first semester of the program! I would recommend it to any respiratory Therapy Student.

This comprehensive, well written nursing text covers all the pertinent areas for caring for these patients. Arranged logically. This text is a must for a nurse's library as it will be referenced repeatedly.

This book is so comprehensive that it talks about dealing with life, and its challenges: stress, dealing with difficult situations that happen to everyone, but are extremely magnified and overwhelimg for anyone taking care of a spouse, child, sibling, parent, or professional caregivers.

I would reccommend this book to anyone who is not living in a cave and has to cope daily with challenges. All the caregivers I know that have read this book and taken the "Powerful Tools For Caregiving" class have been rewarded and renewed permanently!

Caregiving Sourcebook adds to the publisher's ongoing reference series, providing basic consumer health information for caregivers and including tips for not only general care, but meeting the challenges of specific kinds of conditions. From legal issues and financial information for caregivers to the effects of caregiving, Caregiving Sourcebook packs in practical details.

Caring For People With Challenging Behaviors: Essential Skills And Successful Strategies In Long-Term Care by psychotherapist and consultant Stephen Weber Long (Adjunct Professor, Adelphi University, Garden City, New York) addresses the problems and issues involved with long-term care residents who display moderate to severe behavior problems arising from conditions of mental illness, dementia, problematic personalities, dysfunctional behavior patterns, and situational distress. Especially recommended reading for residential care facilities staff members, Caring For People With Challenging Behaviors shows how to set and execute achievable goals in treatment planning; avoid common intervention mistakes; overcome obstacles to effective interventions; encourage residents' autonomy; promote teamwork and improve interpersonal relationships; as well as practice diverse stress management techniques. Intended and primarily recommended for professionals and para-professionals working with residents, Caring For People With Challenging Behaviors is also very useful and informative reading for concerned family members.

If you are an attorney, judge, or social worker who works in this area, this book is a must. It will save you time and guide you to the correct answer.

This book was very good. It should be read by foster parents, as well as anyone who loves children, caretakers, parents and even grandparents. This story is about an elderly couple who had raised over 50 foster children that they later adopted, as well as 3 of thier own. They are fighting for Christina, a young girl they were fostering since she was an infant. It will make you mad how the Department of social services treated the family. It's hard ot find a nice family who won't abuse foster children, but it appears as though they don't do any justice for the good parents out there either. This book is a very touching book, it even mentions relaigion, and describes the prayer that Mrs. Lubben says each day., She feels Godis on her side and continues to keep faith throughout the story. The book is wonderful. I'd definitely recommend it. Matter of fact, I'm going to read it again.
Happy reading!!!!!!!!!
