Respite Care:
Problems, Programs
and Solutions
Edited by Lynn Tepper, EdD, et al.

This book, the first of its kind, examines and discusses how respite care offers a practical, realistic and financially feasible plan for aiding the chronically ill and their families by periodically relieving caregivers of the enormous burden of their responsibilities. Required reading for all professionals involved in caring for the elderly, the chronically ill and the terminal patient. It will also have a wide appeal to all primary and auxiliary caregivers of spouses, relatives or friends with chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, cancer and stroke.

"Very useful in that it analyzes the important aspects of respite care from both the patient’s and the administrator’s point of view." Continuing Care Services
