description: As policy and and financial restrictions increase for hospitals and health care agencies, households will be faced with caring for a family member who becomes acutely or chronically ill. This volume addresses the problems associated with this move from institution to the home; contributors discuss the home as sickroom, patterns of caregiving in the family and the interaction of the judicial process and social services; practical advice about planning a sick room is also included.
