520 1 $a"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.
