The Hospice Handbook: A Complete Guide

Description

In recent years hospice care has gone from a little-known medical alternative to a major movement in health care that has played a leading role in the lives of over 200,000 people. By emphasizing palliative care and pain management rather than curative treatment, hospices allow the terminally ill to spend the last days, week, or months of their lives in their own homes, cared for by their families under the supervision of a team of specially trained hospice workers that includes doctors, nurses, social workers, and volunteers. The Hospice Handbook assures us that the terminally ill do have options, and the quality of their lives can still be within their control.

Summary: "hospice info"

I ordered this book because it was advertised as having financial information regarding budgets, and how to prepare them, productivity numbers, etc. It had none of this, except to say, under 'Finance" to hire financial counselors. So, needless to say, this book was useless to me.
