Elder Care

Ninety percent of the population faces
long-term care for their life or the life of a loved one. In
Elder Care: Precious Presence, author Dr. Alex Kodiath
presents personal, true stories of life in long-term care
and reflects on the lessons that can be drawn from these
stories. With almost twenty-five years of experience in
social work in the medical field, Kodiath gives guidance on
the spiritual nurturing of those in long-term care and
discusses the importance of compassion in caregiving. Elder
Care: Precious Presence provides the tools for professionals
and families to understand the needs of the sick and the
elderly and how to answer these basic needs with love and
grace. The stories illustrate the concept of the spiritual
grace of presence. Elder Care: Precious Presence provides
hope. It demonstrates that the end of a loved one's life
doesn't have to be a time of fear, confusion, and guilt. It
can, instead, be a time of healing, a time of loving, and a
time of dignity, acceptance, and peace.
