Publisher's Synopsis
When you receive the shocking news that your mom or dad is in the hospital, and the next step is the dreaded nursing home, don't let the horror stories cloud your mind and wreak havoc on your emotions. This is YOUR parent, and even though you're not a medical professional, you can control a lot more than you think! A Pocket Guide to Nursing Home Care is just what the doctor ordered to help you pick out an excellent facility, and get the best care while there. Ten brief, easy to read chapters will walk you through the selection process using checklists that clearly illustrate what a top quality facility looks like, as well as, which ones you should walk away from, regardless of their marketing spiel. Also provided are definitions for the terminology that you will hear and detailed care questions to ask to make sure that your parent receives the best medical treatment possible while in the facility.
