Recenzii

"This book is useful to identify issues, resources, and solutions based on the current inconsistency in coverage for the care of family members. A key factor this book considers is nontraditional family units as diversity in families grows. The book also presents academic models for helping caregivers in different work settings and what resources may be available to support them as they bridge the gap in family care needs." --© Doody’s Review Service, 2021, Crystal L Plank, RN, BSN, RAC-CTA(MU Sinclair School of Nursing), reviewer, expert opinion
