Review: Here's the practical knowledge you need to successfully face the challenges and rewards of caring for those you love. Every aspect of home healthcare, from the smallest detail of laundry management to how to choose a home care agency, is covered in a simple, straightforward way.

Look what they're saying about Keeping Them Healthy, Keeping THem Home:

"Over the past three years we have been asked to read and review in print over 100 new books. In our opinion, this book is the caregiving handbook for the balance of the 90s and for years to come. Keeping Them Healthy... is the most essential book on caregiving that you could own.", Victoria Koweleski, Publisher, Caregiving Monthly

Summary: The WORST of home care reference materials
Review: This was BY FAR the worst of the four home care references I used. I have never seen a book--reference or otherwise--which was more useless than this. Highly recommended: The AMA Guide to Home Caregiving (paperback) and (ESPECIALLY) The Complete Bedside Companion. I even recommended to our library that they trash "Keeping them Healthy..." and replace it with an additional copy of either of these. I've never done that before in my life. Just another indicator of how negatively impressed I was with this book.

Summary: Like having your own nurse whenever you need her!
Review: Whether you are providing care hands on or trying to arrange for care from a distance, this book will tell you what you need to know (as well as quite a few things that you never even thought of but are so important)! If you have ever purchased a book to teach you how to manage the care of your infant or young child, you will find comfort in this same style book that helps you care for your aging or ill family members. It will answer all of those middle of the night questions!
