Synopsis

En esta exhaustiva y práctica guía, Stella Henry, experta en cuidados a largo plazo, ayuda a los lectores a dominar la abrumadora logística y las fuertes emociones que provoca el tomar decisiones respecto al cuidado de nuestros mayores, ya sea un padre, una madre o un ser querido. Basándose en sus 36 años de experiencia como administradora y en el tiempo que pasó cuidando a sus dos padres (uno de los cuales padeció los estragos de la enfermedad de Alzheimer), Henry aborda todos los temas difíciles: la detección de los síntomas de demencia, la redefinición de roles entre hermanos, la forma en que se debe examinar una residencia de vida asistida o un hogar de ancianos, la mudanza y los modos de manejar las demandas de "¡llévame a casa!". También explica los laberintos médicos, legales y de seguros. En estos tiempos en que casi 10 millones de personas en este país necesitan cuidados a largo plazo, la Guía para el Cuidado de Nuestros Mayores es de lectura indispensable.
