From Library Journal This is a benign depiction of the nursing home for which the author works as a nurse. We are introduced to the nurses， aides， and administratorsdevoted and not so devotedwho do a difficult job with difficult and unappreciative patients. The book's generally dull and monotonous tone may very well reflect the reality of nursing home life， but doesn't make for very interesting reading. There is， however， a valuable chapter on the limitations of Medicare and the consequent negative effect on health care. An optional purchase. Anne Twitchell， E.P.A. Headquarters Lib.， Washington， D.C.Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. The Philadelphia Inquirer "It is unlikely that anyone else will lead us into the nursing home with as much wisdom and beauty of craft...we are in her debt." (Richard Selzer) "A rare combination of candor， compassion and deft art. I recommend this book to anyone seriously intending to grow old." (Josh Greenfield) "A tough book， written with tenderness and warmth...It certainly should be read by anyone who has a loved one in a nursing home. The rest of us should read it just because it is an honest book. Honesty is a rare find these days." See all Editorial Reviews
