Long-Term Care: A Case Study

In deciding how to treat the issue of the eldercare facility bankruptcy information, it has been determined that Grass Man has an error in his previously issued financial statements due to the timing of available information. One might argue that an error in estimation would be appropriate; however the bankruptcy of the Eldercare Facility was not new information, but rather an, “… oversight or misuse of facts that existed at the time the financial statements were prepared.” ASC 250-10-20 [Emphasis added]

Transitional care is a moderate to long term facility that concentrates situations such as wound control, therapy, and management of chronic diseases (Allied Health Community, 2016). In addition, these facilities provide care for individuals transitioning from the hospital who may not be ready to return home yet. In this scenario, provided by Allied Health Community, a patient has developed a hospital acquired infection (HAI) after the original plan of care was for the patient to stay in for five days. The patient now has to stay in for an additional six days of IV antibiotic fluid. The patient’s insurance is only paying 50% of the IV therapy and only 35% of the extension of stay beyond the original authorization (Allied Health Community, 2016).

There were several indicators that Beverly was unfit for duty such as staff reported the smell of alcohol on her breath, the unexcused absences, and increase in medication errors. Management is aware that disciplinary problems generally do not go away, they get worse if ignored. When employees are suspicious of being chemically impaired, management needs to collect and record objective data (Marquis & Huston, 2017). In this scenario, the supervisor took time to investigate the problem by waiting to witness the issue directly. By waiting this prevented a quick response that could be influenced by incomplete information, assumptions or personal emotions. The supervisor did the right thing by sending Beverly home after the confrontation and scheduling

Although critically acclaimed film maker Luis Buñuel may have believed that, “Age is something that doesn’t matter, unless you’re a cheese”, the state of the Germany’s elderly population prior to the implementation of the Long Term Care Insurance Act in 1995 exemplifies that this mantra does not hold water. This essay seeks to analyze the conditions in Germany that gave rise to the adoption of LTC insurance, discuss the stipulations that manifest with the initiative, and argue in favor of the acts implementation.

Social workers are confronted with the challenge of adapting their role to ensure service users are provided with the required support especially now there is a growing demand for services (Koubel, 2013). Changes to social care delivery and support for older adults seem to have been triggered by recent debates and significant demographical changes to the role of social workers that are currently faced with the prospect of a growing proportion of older adults living longer within the UK population (Koubel, 2013). Statistics obtained from the office of national statistics (ONS, 2011), indicates that there were 1.25 million people aged 85 or over who were usually resident in England & Wales. This compared to 1.01 million in 2001. With one in fourteen

Beverly is a 58-year-old, black female who currently lives with her daughter and previously with her daughter's boyfriend.

Eventually the charges were dropped, and the boyfriend left the home for good. Having the boyfriend gone has alleviated one stressor, but client is now dealing with the trauma of having been incarcerated and lack of finances, because she lost her in-home care income. Client has been resilient throughout her life. She was molested as a child, came out as a lesbian to her mother and sister who didn’t approve

In aging and eldercare, researchers have been mistaken to view older adults and caregivers through the same lens as one large group, however, due to the aging population becoming more diverse, including gender, race, and socioeconomic status (SES), these factors should be taken into consideration as well, according to Bookman and Kimbrel

The ability to exhibit the key factors required in preparing for the future of long-term healthcare will determine how well the facility will succeed in its community and stand out from its competitors. There are factors required from not only personnel but from the facility also. There are internal and external factors. The internal factors include the ability to self-assess oneself, adaptability to change, and plan management skills. The external factors the individual must be knowledgeable about includes information from customers, the serviced community, and the organization. The facility must be able to collaborate and communicate with individuals within and out. The facility must have an open environment that encourages personnel to interact

As the world evolves with an aging population, long-term care comes to the forefront for many families. Long-term care is defined as any type of personal care and/or assistance that an individual or individuals may receive on a long-term basis as a result of a disability, or as a result of a chronic illness that limits the individual’s ability to function. Those families want quality of life for their aging loved ones. With a growing knowledge and interest in long-term care coupled with a determined advocacy for the quality of life, these two facets can be meshed successfully to create a positive impact on the lives of the aging.

On October 30, 2016 at approximately 0150 hours Security Officers Ariel Weiland, Omar Alonso, Brandon Rodriguez and Steven Evans responded to a 51D (Disorderly patient in the E.D) in the Special Care Unit Room #38.

After reasoning with patient Brewer and getting her a warm blanket she rolled over on her back and let Patient Care Tech Mary get a reading on her vitals. The

The creation of Long-term care facilities transpired back in the early centuries as a shelter for the aging population. Compared to as very similar to the types of long-term care facilities we have today, those who resided in these homes were aging, had no homes of their own, or had disabilities that prevented them living on their own.

You are getting this notice because your managed long term care plan did not approve your health care service or is changing the health care service you are getting now. This is an initial adverse determination. You are not responsible for payment of covered services and this is not a bill.
