Synopsis

Age may be just a number for many people, but it also brings very real daily challenges for many older adults. Retaining independence by living in their own homes is integral to most older adults' sense of well-being, yet frailty, illness and forgetfulness can make living at home difficult. The Handbook of Live-In Care gives caregivers - usually an adult son or daughter- practical, how-to advice on caring for an elderly loved one. From understanding the psychology of homebound adults to tips for assisting with everyday needs, The Handbook of Live-In Care offers the first definitive guide to maximizing the quality of life for an older adult.
