Choosing a nursing home or assisted living facility for yourself or a loved one is a difficult decision, and can easily become overwhelming. Which facility is right for your situation? Are the caregivers and administrators well qualified and nurturing? What should you ask during a facility tour? How can you be an effective advocate for yourself and your loved one? Most patients and families have little idea what to expect or how they will be treated when going into a care facility.
Based on 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry as well as personal experience with assisted living, Sherry Joyce is uniquely qualified to write this practical self-help guide to the complex world of senior living. It will bring patients and families an awareness of what is going on in the facilities, what services they provide, the departments and staff, as well as how best to deal with them. Informative and easy to read, the book offers support and guidance with the ultimate aim of making sure families and their loved ones thrive.
