The Comfort of Home for Parkinson Disease: A Guide for Caregivers
Being a carer...can be mentally, physically and emotionally challenging...this practical guide...provides information to help carers through all stages of Parkinson's. -- European Parkinson's Disease Association, [This] guide for caregivers...is a real tour de force. --Parkinson's Association of Ireland, 2007One of the many definitions of comfort is the capacity to ease well-being , which certainly applies to our homes when we are seeking well-being. The word, care, may have many meanings in different scenarios, but one I like best is to treat with dignity . The Comfort of Home is truly the best resource for caregivers I have seen. The basic descriptions, pictures, quick bullets of information and tips are just what caregivers need to learn, provided in an easy to read and see version. The myriad of helpful topics condensed here is just what caregivers I work with have requested and will benefit from. I highly recommend this resource to all caregivers of those with Parkinson s disease. --Gwyn M. Vernon, MSN, CRNP, Neurology Nurse PractitionerUniversity of Pennsylvania, Graduate School of Nursing
