Life Of The Elderly At A Nursing Home

American senior citizens will account for 20% of the nation’s total population by 2030 (Nelson, 2007). With the growing population of senior living, healthcare facilities are becoming more popular than ever.

“The Palace” is located in the heart of the gables. It is one of the top notch awarded nursing home facilities for seniors stated by many families. Currently being an employee at this facility, I am learning the frightful stories of senior living. Even the Palace one of the most expensive, awarded senior living is actually a terrible place for the elderly. Especially, working at the Front Desk as the receptionist, I have seen firsthand how these poor seniors are forced into these haunted “luxurious” homes. The marble of the building has been often a misleading reason for placing their parent or grandparent in such terrible care. Most humans tend to judge by the appearance of the nursing homes rather than further investigating any violations that the facilities may have. From my own experience with my grandmother, I know it can be very difficult to take care of a senior citizen, especially when they suffer from various conditions and are just not safe in their home. Once adults become seniors, they require a lot of attention and assistance, which is hard when running a whole household and a career. But placing your loved one in one of these facilities can just shorten the amount of time they have to live. Also, it can be very expensive. Lastly, nursing home makes seniors feel the lack of freedom.

So, one of the main concerns that might arise in a care home will be if there was a security codes taking place because theft might happen as everybody will be focusing on getting the residents of the care home out of the building.

There may come a time in your loved one's life when they are no longer able to perform all of the tasks they used to without assistance. Despite their need for support, your senior loved one may decide they want to remain at home and enjoy their independence and freedom. While nursing homes and assisted living facilities serve a certain segment of the population quite well, others enjoy the quality of life that comes from living in their own home. For families that are able to provide the necessary care, arrangements can be made to make this work. Others, however, are left wondering how their senior loved one is going to receive the service and support they require to remain safe. Thankfully,

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.

For the past decade, my grandmother had been apart of the St. Joseph's Bluffs assistant for living in Jefferson City. Therefore, I would like to express my sincere and deep appreciation for the outstanding care the staff provided my grandmother in her last days. I would like to express how being outdoors and going places had an effect on my grandmother. I would like to show my thanks to Chaplain Mueller and the chapel inside the nursing home. I would also like to talk about my grandmother´s battle with Parken´s disease and how she managed to live all these years with the help of the nursing staff. I never realized how important is it to work on a nursing staff with high demands, until I experienced the nursing staff at St. Joseph's Bluffs.
