Devoted is a comprehensive guide that offers a road map to readers of how to proceed and manage the steps to place loved ones in care facilities. It is easy to use this guide in making a plan of action. The author has covered every step from giving a preliminary list of things to do; to including note pages at the end. She’s discussed nursing staff, medication upkeep, care plans, power of attorney, and even more topics. I recommend this very inclusive book for every person who may have to put a loved one in a care facility. The information in this book will save you time, stress and maybe even money.
