New guide about home care

Canadian Medical Association Journal 1996; 155: 436

The Canadian Association for Community Care (CACC, formerly HomeSupport Canada and the Canadian Long Term Care Association) has prepared a handbook for people who may need home medical or support treatment. Thinking about home care is a question-answer guide that examines the positive and negative aspects of having care at home, the types of services that are available and ways to cope with such care. The guide answers questions that might be asked by seniors, their children, the disabled and those with acute or chronic illnesses. The booklet costs $1.50; for information call the CACC, 613 241-7510.
