First sentence: This book is an account of my experiences and insights from the time I was hired in 1974 as the first home care social worker at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, up to my recent writings in the 1990s that deal with Concerned Home Managers for the Elderly (COHME), a nonprofit, licensed home health care agency that I founded in New York City in 1985.
