Read our review in Video Librarian View the Tape Descriptions This award-winning series approaches homecare from the perspective of the caregiver. The ideal situation is one in which the caregiver not only feels confident of all skills needed to provide gentle, loving care but also receives ongoing training, set to fit the pace of the caregiver. As situations change so too the level of knowledge must increase. These tapes compliment hands-on training and can be used as a sole teaching guide.
Caregivers are often awake in the early hours of the morning.
Watching how to do the basics over and over again, prepares the caregiver to adjust with confidence as the need arises. Dramatic changes are happening in the healthcare industry. Hospitals no longer care for those who are dying. We have an aging population and with this there is an increase in life threatening illnesses such as cancer. Economics often prohibit institutionalized care and so many have had loving, transforming experiences with local Hospices that families are choosing to remain in the home during a serious illness.
