520 1  "A growing number of people choose to live their final 
       weeks or months at home. For patients who cannot benefit 
       from acute care in the hospital, home care offers an 
       alternative to a nursing home or hospice. Advances in 
       medical technology and pharmacology allow even those with 
       serious illnesses to remain at home relatively free of 
       pain and symptoms, and professional services are 
       increasingly available to assist family caregivers with 
       work that is often physically and emotionally exhausting."
       "First published in 1991, Dying at Home examined the 
       reasons behind this trend and offered practical advice 
       about assuming as much control as possible over the 
       process of dying. In this thoroughly updated edition, 
       medical anthropologist and gerontologist Andrea Sankar 
       keeps her focus on the patient and loved ones while 
       providing the latest information on hospice home care 
       teams, pain medications, HIV and AIDS, legislation on 
       death with dignity, physician-assisted suicide, and 
       sources of information and support for patients and 
       families."--Jacket.
