Enjoy a romantic adventure set on the early American frontier of the Ohio Valley from author Tammy Shuttlesworth. In a Moravian mission village, Callie Troyer struggles to connect her past with her future when a mysterious man claims to know her and the wilderness fills with political tensions. Also includes the bonus sequel, Healing Sarah’s Hear that continues the work of the mission through the story of a widowed mother who struggles with knowing who to trust.
Sarah Lyons is running from her past, from her grief of losing her husband, and especially from God. She is struggling to survive on her own and care for her young son in the wilderness along the Ohio river. Joining a new community in Washington County, she meets militia leader Jeremiah Stewart. Jeremiah can relate to her pain and grief; but he hasn't given up on God. His faith, though, will be pressed to the limit when his group is called upon to eradicate a band of "Praying" Indians who are blamed for recent attacks on settlers. Will Sarah risk talking about her past and admitting what she knows about these Indians? Can Jeremiah help her understand that she can trust God for her welfare and happiness--and for bringing healing to her heart?
Five years ago a flood destroyed Callie Troyer's home at a Pennsylvania orphanage and her memory of the man she loved. She built a new life in eastern Ohio, assisting with the medical challenges of an eighteenth-century mission settlement of Christian Indians. But the sudden arrival of a mysterious man from Philadelphia-a man who claims to have know her before the flood-makes her question who she really is. Joshua Johnston believes that if love comes easily, it is not worth having. He wants Callie at his side as his wife, like she had promised before the flood. Is he up to the challenge of helping Callie discover who she is tomorrow is more important than who she was yesterday?
Health care providers and social workers at nursing homes may feel they have little time to design programs for the family members of their residents, yet you will learn in How to Get Families More Involved in the Nursing Home that the benefits of such programs are immense and the time investment will pay off. You learn of four family programs that can be put into use immediately or can be changed or expanded to fit the needs of an individual setting. In addition, you will witness how educational workshops, support groups, family councils, and holiday socials increase family involvement in the nursing home, which in turn improves the quality of care and life that long-term residents experience.In the daily bustle of trying to meet the needs of all residents, staff members do not generally have time to devote to family members who often feel awkward during their visits and do not realize their help would be welcomed. Nursing home coordinators and social workers can use the model support groups and workshops this book provides to open the lines of communication between staff and families and enable them to work together to assess and meet residents’ needs. Implementation of these programs encourages families to take an active role in the operation of the nursing home and to participate in the decisions and events that affect the residents’ lives. How to Get Families More Involved in the Nursing Home provides easy, step-by-step procedures for the installation of family programs without overtaxing social workers and directors already under pressure.In addition to the four model programs developed and presented by author Tammy LaBrake, a Public Health Social Work Consultant, this book examines research findings on the lack of family participation in nursing homes despite the offering of family programs. You learn how to overcome barriers to communication and collaboration between staff members and family members and capitalize on the amount of participation that does exist within a nursing home. You also learn how to convey to families that they are equally responsible for the well-being of their resident and that their input and assistance are necessary to correct problems that cannot be remedied by staff members alone. Finally, How to Get Families More Involved in the Nursing Home demonstrates that workshops, social gatherings, and councils do contribute to the formation of a community where family members and staffers find the mutual support necessary to provide excellent health care and soften the institutional atmosphere.
