Hospice Care at Home
A Calm Family Guide to Caring for a Dying Parent or Spouse: Comfort, Medicines, Signs That Death Is Near, and What to Do in the Hours AfterBy Imad Muratspahic
Length3h 37m
About this audiobook
The hospital bed has been delivered, the nurse has gone, and now it is your house, your family and your hands. Hospice sends a team to visit and an on-call number to dial, but most of the daily care of someone who is dying at home falls to the people who love them. Nobody sat you down and explained how to wash someone in bed, when to open the medicine box, what that breathing sound means, or exactly what to say when you phone the nurse at 3 a.m. Hospice Care at Home is the calm, practical manual for that work. It is not a book about whether to choose hospice or what to decide about treatment, and it is not a grief memoir. It is the hands-on guide for the weeks when hospice is already in the house: setting up the room, daily personal care, medicines without mistakes, easing pain and breathlessness, knowing when to call, understanding the signs that death is near, and knowing what to do in the hours afterward. Inside, you'll learn: Written in a calm, kind voice for adult children, spouses, partners and grandchildren, with a checklist at the end of every chapter and a Quick Reference you can tape to the wall.
