Items related to Family Caregivers: Disability, Illness and Ageing
Between 1992 and 1996, the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation funded a survey of 26,000 households about family caregiving. Almost 1000 cases were interviewed intensively. The result is Family Caregivers, the most comprehensive body of information on this growing social issue ever assembled.
Written in an accessible style, this book provides a voice for all those who contribute a vital community service but whose concerns are all too little acknowledged. In addition to this voice, it provides vital information for the creation and maintenance of policies to support those who, for far too long, have had to bear the burden with inadequate assistance.
