Product description...

About caregivers: children, family, friends, and community helping Bob and Melba live and die at home in their tenth decade of life.

This is a Five Year record of actual day to day caregiver written comments entered into spiral ruled notebooks. Caregivers write about the nature of old age, the gritty details of its physical, functional and mental aspects; about doctors, hospitals, hospice and bureaucracy.
