PALLIATIVE CARE

“The Hospice Red Book”] |

We believe Peter
Kaye’s book is a vital resource on practical
symptom control and patient/family support in
terminal illness, and is “the” quick reference
textbook for all who care for the dying and the
bereaved. (387 pages) |

HOSPICE DESIGN
MANUAL FOR IN-PATIENT FACILITIES
by Timothy Moorhouse, BA Dipl Arch (available
August, 2006) |
| |
A
unique guide offering comprehensive, holistic,
practical information and advice to hospice and
palliative care
organizations planning to build, restore, adapt or
refurbish an in-patient facility. (139 pages incl.
diagrams) |

|
Hospice is a
philosophy of caring which respects and values the dignity and
worth of each person, and good hospice care is the practical
expression of that personal and professional commitment.
Hospices care for people approaching death, but hospices
cherish and emphasize life, by helping patients (and those who
love and care for them) live each day to the fullest. |
