Dying at Home

Description

Spending the final phase of life at home surrounded by loved ones and also dying there remains the ideal for many people – yet it is comparatively rarely realized: In fact, most people die in a nursing home or hospital. However, death at home was the norm just a few generations ago and took place within the closest family circle. What are the opportunities, but also the challenges of dying at home for relatives, nursing professionals – and not least for those affected themselves?
