This updated and revised edition, originally published in 1990, contains information on financial help and services and on the new technology available at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book concerns itself primarily with elderly people who are either living alone or with relatives. In addition to setting out the practical steps to be taken in the treatment of illness (such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, bronchitis, etc.), the author explains why elderly people cannot cope with apparently simple operations, and why they act in a certain way. An extensive list of aids and gadgets, ancillary and community services, is designed to provide supportive advice to relatives and professionals alike, and to encourage the maximum possible self-reliance in the elderly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Hooker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032731494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032731490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"Susan Hooker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520761610495,"sku":"9781032731490","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eed5c498-c282-4f16-99c9-defd6c1fdbe9.jpg?v=1762886936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/caring-for-elderly-people-susan-hooker-9781032731490","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
