Infos

Through the Rabbit Hole is exactly the reference book that the author needed for quick access to information during her experience providing care for her ill parents. It wasn't available for her, so she has written it for all the families and caregivers who are now beginning their journeys. Her parents' medical crises caused her to fall down the rabbit hole and into the maze of unfamiliar options and decisions. Having emerged from the maze, the author details the complexities of caregivers and facilities, the need for patient advocacy, as well as the medical, legal, financial and insurance aspects of care. With the end goal of compassionate and dignified care, this book, a wonderful companion to A Most Meaningful Life, is a beacon through the maze of care.
