Abstract:
For many clients in home care with chronic illness the real work of getting well involves learning to adjust to chronic illness and to disability. Learning to adjust to disability by maximizing the abilities and qualities that are present can mean overcoming otherwise very significant problems while still maintaining a high quality of life. Home care providers play an important role in helping clients and their families optimize functioning to do the real work of getting "well."
