The Hospice Handbook: A Complete Guide
Available To Downloads

In recent years hospice care has gone from a little-known medical alternative to a major movement in health care. 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.

so glad I ordered this book! It was easy to read, and very informative (it was filled with different scenarios)

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.
