“Professional carer” – it’s almost a contradiction in terms.
Let down by the ‘system’ Ann Benton, aided by a team of helpers,
charts the journey of her father-in-law from unsatisfactory hospital
care, through spectacularly absent ‘care in the community’, to being
looked after at home.
In eight easy-to-digest chapters she gives a Christian perspective
on caring for your aged parent as well as giving practical tools to
help those, who find themselves in the same situation, negotiate the
difficulties more easily.
Ann brings out the positive benefits of caring for those unable to
look after themselves in her light-hearted, poignant and
straightforward manner.
In an aging population virtually all of us will have to face the
issues that are presented in this book. We should be thankful that we
will have such wise and clear advice when we get to that moment.
