Peter is the author of Nursing Homes: The Family's Journey. This book is a complete guide to the practical and emotional issues faced by families as they search for and deal with nursing homes and care. It starts before admission, when someone is a caregiver to a loved one still at home. Peter discusses how to talk to someone about care, and follow them through admission, life in the home, and death and dying.
Bookstores and on-line booksellers sell the book, and it is available from the publisher at 1-800-537-5487. To find out more about Nursing Homes: The Family's Journey, go to http://www.NursingHomesBook.com. Similar to the popular Craigslist, Peter has created a web site for the public to advertise and find free equipment and services, caregiver resources, pre-owned equipment for sale, commercial services for seniors, and more. It is also a great place for people to give away what they don't need - to know that their generosity helps out others who cannot afford to buy or rent equipment. ElderPost is a place for people to be able to help each other. Check it out today!
