Book Description
"In a time when tens of millions of people provide care for family members, older adults, and people with special needs, we should all be experts at it. Instead, we often struggle with caring for others while taking care of ourselves. In Take Good Care, author Cynthia Orange brings together compelling testimonies from a wide range of caregivers, advice from leading experts in the field, and her own hard-won wisdom to capture the subtle differences between caretaking and caregiving. With a foreword by Susan Allen Toth, the critically acclaimed author of No Saints around Here: A Caregiver's Days, this book shows us how and why caring for each other can be a mutually rewarding experience. It's easy to become overinvolved in another person's life and needs when giving care. Feeling burdened with expectations and resentments in a codependent relationship hinders a sense of joy, purpose, and engagement. Relationships require empathy and boundaries; with them, a codependent caretaker can transform into an intentional, self-aware, and compassionate caregiver"--

Book Description
To lead good care, social care managers must have professional and personal authority: a clear understanding of the core task and the emotional challenges of care, and the imagination to create an organisation or team dedicated to meeting people's needs. This guide gives managers the understanding of systems of care and will inspire them to take the lead. Using the stories of four managers leading four different care services, John Burton explains the key issues and shows how, by focusing on the core task and taking the authority to lead, managers can transform social care. Furthermore, they will find their own work life-enhancing and immensely satisfying.

Book Description
Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.

Book Description
What are the hallmarks of anthroposophical caregiving methodology that are necessary for the provision of ‘good care’? In recent decades, healthcare has undergone a transformation. Clients demand good care, and providers are expected to deliver it. Care and treatment methods are made explicit, quality standards are set and cyclical evaluations made, leading to a goal of continuous optimization. In special education and social therapy – for people with developmental disabilities and mental health issues – an effective and high-quality caregiving methodology based on anthroposophy has been developed over the past century and is currently practised in dozens of countries around the world. Developed from research by Rudolf Steiner and the experiences of numerous co-workers over decades, this methodology is described alongside its scientific basis and ethical principles. Good Care is an ideal handbook for caregivers, parents and carers, explaining how anthroposophical care is interpreted and translated into quality daily practice. Chapters include: ‘Value-based caregiving – Ethical premises of anthroposophical care for persons with developmental disabilities’; ‘Spiritual-psychological aspects of developmental disabilities’; ‘The professional identity of the professional caregiver’; ‘The caregiving process from a methodological perspective’; ‘The caregiving methodology scientifically justified’.

Book Description
"Good Care, Painful Choices surveys the ethical decisions that must be made by ordinary people who deal with medicine today - ranging from beginning-life issues such as test-tube babies and surrogate motherhood to end-of-life issues such as advance directives, patient refusal of treatment, and physician-assisted suicide. This third edition gives special attention to partial-birth abortion and to recent discoveries in genetics involving stem cells, cloning, and eugenics." "The strength of the book comes from its foundation in basic moral principles that stress personhood, moral decision making, and conscience. Decidedly Christian, the book gives special emphasis to the Roman Catholic tradition. It will be welcomed by Catholics, by Christians of all denominations, and by anyone interested in a careful overview of contemporary medical ethics."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Do you or a loved one receive care at home or in a residential or day care setting? Are you concerned about the qualities to look for when selecting a care worker? Are the qualifications presented on a CV enough to determine if an individual will be a good carer, performing to a high standard of service? What considerations will help you to choose or decide if the person is going to be a good carer? "Caring with a Difference" is written by Paulette Francis to help answer these questions and more. She shares her knowledge and her insights after many years of experience in the social care sector. "Qualifications are not the only things to be considered, she says. "Character is just as important as competence." Her "little book"as it is fondly referred to by Lord Tony Benn, places emphasis on the practices and the personal qualities of a care worker, equally. "It is the little things that one does that make the difference" says Paulette. Compassion, consideration and attention to details that preserve the dignity and respect of a client, are essential to the delivery of quality care. If you are a care worker looking for a quick, easy-to-read guide to being an excellent care giver then "Caring with a Difference" is the book for you. "It is the Care Workers' responsibility and privilege to make sure that they develop the personal qualities that will improve their performance and the experience of their client," says Paulette Francis. "It takes a special person to be a good Carer," she adds.
