| Annotation | Nursing home staff are increasingly being asked to care for residents who are dying. Chapters in this book are arranged in the form of training sessions designed to help nursing home staff to meet the challenge and give competent and compassionate care. Eight topics on end-of-life and palliative care in long-term care settings are examined: envisioning a good death; recognising the final phase of life; grief and loss; advance care planning; choices about eating and drinking; pain management; emotional and spiritual care; and caring for the caregivers.
