The publisher's review includes the following commendation, "... this book offers a solid foundation on which nurses and other caregivers can build a positive, affirming experience for dying residents, that addresses their physical, spiritual, psychological, and emotional needs"
At a time when we hear so many dreadful stories about the poor treatment of, and attitudes toward residents in nursing homes, these sensitively written accounts of several residents receiving palliative care, challenge and encourage all who are involved in end-of-life care.
I read it when I was working in a hospital library, and was inspired and heartened to know that there are nurses and caregivers who really do care.
