about the book
There’s No Place Like Home: A guide to help caregivers manage the long-term care experience is now available in digital format and the method of payment is PayPal.
The book’s objective is two-fold. While it was primarily intended to support and inform caregivers about the long-term care experience, it is also a fundraiser as all proceeds from book sales are being used to buy quilts for residents in care without family or friends.

“There’s never a good time to talk about long-term care. That’s one reason most of us prefer to avoid the subject altogether. But it has a way of forcing itself into the conversation at the least opportune moment …
I was recently given the opportunity to peruse Lise Cloutier-Steele’s revised edition of There’s No Place Like Home, a personal narrative that’s beautiful and touching on its own, but one that the author decided to turn into a comprehensive and real-life guide for caregivers looking for a way to get long-term care right for their loved ones.
The book is clear and concise. The guidance is comprehensive but doesn’t feel any longer than it has to be. It can’t have been easy to write so well about such a personal, powerful and no doubt emotionally difficult topic.
Most of you won’t need this kind of guide just now, but some of you will. If that’s you, find more information here: www.ottawacaregiver.com.”

“A topic bravely tackled by Lise Cloutier-Steele. Filled with heartfelt honesty.
There’s No Place Like Home exposes the deficiencies in our current long-term care facilities that plead for reformation, both physical and psychological.”
