“Doctor, We Are Ready For Home”

This book serves as an important guide for many home caregivers. For some, bringing their loved ones home from a medical institution, such as hospital, presents both joy as well as a daunting challenge, especially when they do not feel adequately trained or equipped to provide the appropriate care. Written in a comprehensive, concise and easy-to-understand manner, author Ivy Low, a former nurse and now Founder of WhiteAngel Caregivers Consultancy, hopes this book will bring a sense of confidence, relief and real help to home caregivers. Some of the essential topics discussed are:

• Overview of the healthcare system in Singapore
• Sources of help and support available, ranging from the government to voluntary welfare schemes
• Costs and practical considerations such as meals for the lonely elderly, medical subsides, etc.
• How to train caregivers with practical skills
• Caregivers’ plans
