Book synopsis

The Handbook of Hospice Care discusses the history of hospice, its philosophy of care, and contemporary issues. Buckingham details the role of each member of the hospice team in providing palliative care based upon the needs and preferences of each patient and family -- a cooperative and compassionate approach that brings meaning, dignity, and autonomy to the dying process. Extensive sections are offered on hospice care for children and for persons with AIDS, and bereavement programs that offer support for family members. Also included is a list of hospice programs available throughout the country and valuable information about starting a hospice program in your own community.
