Interview : A Nursing Home Facility For About 12 Years Now

Throughout this essay I will share the reasons I have found for there being difficulties and also rewards of being a carer for a family member. ‘A carer is someone of any age who provides unpaid support to care for family or friends who could not manage without this help. This could be caring for a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems.’ (Carers Trust) I will attempt to use my course materials to draw on the experiences of Ann Walker who cares for her elderly step father Angus who has developed Parkinsons’ disease. Firstly I will look at some of the following difficulties that I have identified and due to the limitations of this study I will then briefly discuss the

She is also practicing as a counselor in private counseling for people whenever she is off the clock at work. The typical cases/processes she deals with on a day to day basis is just working with students with whatever they may be struggling with or need help with at a certain moment in time.

“I want to slow down and enjoy the little things in life that she never appreciated.” she told me. She wants to worry less about what she can’t control and just enjoy what life has to offer. This is a good lesson for everyone. Somethings can be overlooked because they are small but it doesn't mean they are less important. It has also changed her a person. While she was in and out of the hospital she got see how hard working and caring the people working the medical industry were. “Everybody in the hospital were so great and would go out of there way to help me. It was really amazing.” If possible, she wants to get involved in the medical industry because of how great they were to her.

Let me tell you a little about myself, growing up in a larger than normal family has its setbacks and struggles; but non-the-less special. Also growing up and helping take care of your great grandmother, who has Alzheimer’s, takes a special family. I never though of myself pursuing a career in the medical field, ever. I actually despised the idea; I wanted to become a CSI, I wanted more science, but something happened. When my great grandmother came to live with us after the Alzheimer’s had spread, I was there to help her, when my parents working. I helped feed, bath, cloth, distributed medication, use the restroom, I even cut her hair and painted her nails the colored she loved, dark red/maroon. It was in those years, before she died, that I saw myself helping other just like this. I love to say that my great grandmother inspired me to become a nurse. She inspired me to become who I am now.

Howard Terry Newman is 67 year old retired printer who suffered from Parkinson’s disease as well as arthritis, voice impairment, hiatal hernia, and heart trouble. Mr. Newman, the appellee, is contesting his stay between September 19, 1968 and November 11, 1968 at the appellant’s facility, Big Town Nursing Home. The plaintiff was admitted voluntarily by his nephew to the facility with the ability to leave as he pleased. However, on September 22nd, when Mr. Newman attempted to leave the facility, he was told that he could not use the phone or entertain visitors without the administrator’s permission. He proceeded to walk out; he was brought back and restrained on Wing 3 with “senile patients, drug addicts, alcoholics, mentally disturbed, incorrigibles and uncontrollables” according to the administrator testimony.

Introduction: Since I was about ten, I have always wanted to be in the health field. My mother is an R.N and my uncle is a Nephrologist (kidney surgeon). I love the healthcare field and the thought of helping people. Currently I am a C.N.A and my major is nursing. When deciding the person to interview I knew exactly who I wanted. Patty Flym is the Nurse at Amber Glen Nursing home, which happens to

My former caregivers embody the skilled nursing professional that I hope to one day become. They never allowed their personal beliefs to get in the way of patient care. They were committed to learning and bettering themselves for their patients. They were not afraid to admit what they did not know but they also refused to give up until they found answers. They were willing to help assist other medical professionals because they understood the importance of uplifting their team. They were efficient multitaskers that remained organized and detail oriented. My former nurses were committed to supporting and believing in patients that did not have the strength to do it themselves. For the nurses I encountered, nursing was not a just job. It was a way of life that they were dedicated to and passionate about. I will never be able to fully repay those who helped me, but I can support them by joining them in their continuing efforts to better serve the community.

My professional experience involves Bartley Health care, which is an assisted living for the geriatric population as I mentioned in the earlier paragraph. My duties are providing direct social services to residents and their families. Assisting residents and families with receiving services in the facility and or community, conducting family care conferences, completing initial social services assessments, assisting residents that are experiencing personal and environmental difficulties, inviting residents and or/families to care plan meetings, coordinate discharge planning, and providing support to residents that are in need. Bartley is one of the best nursing home facilities and I enjoy working with my co-workers who have been like family to me. I enjoy working my residents and putting a smile on their face.

I really like the way this book was written. The author opens the door for the reader to try to understand the struggle that caregivers endure. Although it might not have statistics or research to back up the information there is so much that we can take from it. This memoir shows the aspects of what a patient faces and the concepts that follow it, as well shine light on the emotional toll that it has on the family members.

I wanted to interview someone outside of the healthcare field because I feel that we are “trained” to deal with death and the dying differently. I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but I feel that now that I understand death and dying more because I am a nurse; my thoughts and feelings would be different from before I was a nurse. So, that brings me to my mother. When my grandfather was sick her and my grandmother decided to keep him at home and have hospice come to the house weekly to care for him outside of what they weren’t able to do themselves. They kept him home until the day he passed away and my mother was beside him every day. He had Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Giggles and the pitter patter of little feet echo through the halls of a nursing home, located in Seattle, WA. If you listen carefully, voices of both the young and the old can be heard as the day goes on, and things such as coloring, songs being sung, and painting are the most common activities that take place on a daily basis. This is not exactly the sounds that you would expect to hear, in a living retirement center for the elderly community, but then again, “The Mount” as its known, is not your typical nursing home. Everyday, residents and staff members of this facilities Inter-generational Learning Center, come together to spend a portion of their day with up to 125 children, ages zero-five. This facility, along with many more in the

The community service that had impacted me the most was my experience volunteering at the DuBois Nursing Home. Though my time was there was limited , I learned a lot and experienced a different side of life I hadn't really been exposed to before. The nursing home taught me to be patient and empathetic. My duties consisted of safely transporting the residents from their rooms to various places throughout the nursing home. I learned their names even though most of them would not remember mine when I would see them later the same day. Many of the residents were pleasant and would talk to me throughout the day however, some of the other residents were not as personable. The disagreeable residents were generally ill-mannered due to their physical

After researching Brookdale Senior Living Center I was very impressed to learn of your organization's partnership with Wish of A Lifetime.
