This was the second time coming back to the nursing home visit. I was excited that I get to chat with the resident again. My resident was eating breakfast when I walked into the room and she had no idea that I was coming back that day. I got very anxious because she might not want to be bothered, but I was wrong. She was very welcoming and happy that I came back to visit. We had long conversations about her life and new things that came up since the last time we met. I also did an assessment on my resident this time around since I was not able to during our last visit. I explained the whole process to her while doing the assessment and make sure she knows everything that I am doing. Compared to the first visit, I was much more comfortable.

Sometimes, elderly people, or those with disabilities, require round-the-clock care or treatment that their family members cannot provide. As such, their loved ones may make the difficult decision to move them into a nursing home or long-term facility.

By taking certain steps, however, people in Illinois, and elsewhere, may be able to protect their loved ones from nursing home neglect and abuse.

Child-birth have been performed for centuries at home and still are very common in many parts of the world. It is better to have a midwife who is working under the supervision of a physician than not have any health care, and there will be less chance of having an emergency situation in presence of midwifes.

Some of the factors that are affecting the quality of services for older people in residential care homes are: high level of job dissatisfaction and stress. The home atmosphere was also rated low by the residents Redfern, S (2002). The correlations between home atmosphere perceived by residents and their morale and mental health were low; Hannan, et al (2001) revealed that very little research is available on the links between workers’ perceptions of their jobs and quality of care provision and the morale or well-being of older people in continuing care settings.

I received a page to transport Ms. Byrnes from Overlook MC to her residence. The text stated the pt had x amount of steps at home. At this point i contacted dispatch, to make sure I would have a lift assist to bring the wheel chair into the residence.
