written by Fairview Health Services

Compiled from years of experience, this handbook is designed to help families make the best decisions and give the best care possible for someone with a life threatening illness. Just a few of the many concerns it addresses are pain management, legal and financial issues, emotional and physical needs, arranging funerals, understanding hospice services, home care, and bereavement.

While encouraging the spiritual and emotional value of taking on home care for families, this book does not “sugarcoat” its tremendous challenges. Detailed instructions, daily care logs, and charts help guide caregivers through.
