The Ultimate Cooking Companion for At-Home Careegivers

This unique on-the-job reference is designed to assist homemaker/home health aides as they plan and cook meals, assist clients and families with feeding, and model the very best nutritional related practices so that a nutritionally sound atmosphere is established and can be maintained when the aide is no longer in the home.
