Summary:
"End of Life in Care Homes describes what happens in nursing and
residential care homes when a resident is dying, how carers cope, and
the practical, health and emotional challenges that carers face on
top of their day-to-day work. Based on detailed research from both
the UK and US, the book shows how the situation can be improved. Care
home staff of all levels as well as palliative care practitioners,
general practitioners, Macmillan nurses and other health care
professionals who come into contact with dying residents will find
this book of great value. Geriatricians, policy makers and
administrators of residential care and nursing homes should also find
it a useful resource."--BOOK JACKET.
