  • Title: Hospices services for the terminal Alzheimer's patient.
    Author: Austin B, Melbourne P.
    Journal: Caring; 1990 Nov; 9(11):60-2. PubMed ID: 10170630.
    Abstract:
    Alzheimer's patients and their families have dealt with the physical and emotional burdens of this debilitating disease for many years. By the time Alzheimer's advances into its terminal phases the patient needs additional care and the caregiver--often frail and elderly--needs respite. Visiting Nurse/Hospice Atlanta combines home care and hospice so that Alzheimer's patients can spend their last days at home, with their families.
