Everything I Need to Know

After reading HOSPICE CARE AT HOME, I couldn't help but remember my mother's struggles as she cared for my termanally ill grandmother 15 years ago, and I couldn't help but think about what I will do when that time to care for my parents comes. Thankfully, with this book, Bob and Star Calo-oy have provided my family a step-by-step resource for dealing with one of life's most challenging circumstances. I've found comfort in knowing that someone who has been there, time and time again, has created a step-by-step manual to guide my family successfully through the medical, legal, financial, emotional, and physical challenges associated with caring for the termanalally ill at home. I can honestly say that I am not afraid and that I am not alone, thanks to the authors of this book. The read is very basic, yet powerful and relevant, perfect for families of any socioeconomic background. This is truly one of the best investments of time and money my family has been involved in. Don't pass over this wealth of information!

Hospice Care at Home

Finally, a guide to help you care for your loved one at the end of their life! This book was the perfect helpmate for me when my grandmother was dying. We wanted to keep her with us even until the very end of her life. This book helped us to know how to deal with her, what to expect, and keep her comfortable. Bravo to Starr and Bob Calo-oy, job well done. I also read her other books, which also helped me get through the hard times while caring for my grandmother. They are: Caregiving Tips A-Z, Caregiving Tips A-Z Alzheimer's and other Dementias, and The Caring Caregivers Guide to Dealing with Guilt. I would recommend them to anyone who is caring for a loved one!
