What are the basics needed in home care? This covers the needs of home care; from bathing and wheelchair transfers to avoiding illness and getting health care advice. Pros and cons are outlined along with a step-by-step program for caregivers. Notable here are the specifics; from understanding special equipment for home care to assessing different insurance plan options: where others focus on psychology alone, this gets down to the nitty gritty.
