Mountaineer Nursing Home

As stories are exchanged, a man named Douglas describes a story so horrible and terrifying, that he restrains from telling it. After much fuss from the crowd, Douglas agrees to tell the story, but it must first arrive by the post. Douglas explains that the details of the story came from Douglas’s sister’s governess, who he was in love with. After giving brief details of the governess, everyone agrees to return to the house on Thursday to listen to the story. On Thursday, everyone becomes impatient, anticipating the tale to come, until finally, the story arrives. As Douglas introduces the story, he tells of a young woman, who in search of work, seeks out an advertisement for the position of governess, taking care of two children, Miles and Flora, under the care of their uncle. The woman accepted the position of governess, due to seduction from the handsome uncle, but was never allowed to see him again. As the crowd takes in the details of the prologue, Douglas begins the story, in the perspective of the governess. The governess was traveling down a road in a buggy, thinking about her decision, when she arrives at the house. To her surprise, the house was wondrous, thinking to herself, “I remember as a most pleasant impression the broad,... bright flowers and the crunch of my wheels on the gravel and the

In fitful sleep, she dreamt dreams of Indians, palmettos, cotton, tobacco, rice, indigo, and eagles flying through the skies calling to her, telling her to take this trail or that, and her reaching up, trying to catch them before they flew away. The next morning, she helped Nancy build a fire under the big, black iron pot out back of the cabin and then fill it with water so they could wash clothes. About an hour later, as they hung the first of the wash on the line, they heard a rider coming up the back trail; the trail that led down to Fort Charlotte.

I visit the Springdale Nursing Home Facility. The people there were nice and I actually volunteered there to pursue my training in becoming a CNA. My mother used to work there a long time ago and she enjoyed it, but now everything has changed. At the agency, their mission is to care for the elderly and treat them with care. The agency allows extend care for their clients. They care for their clients as part of their own family. They help and reteach them how to do everyday living. There were some health issues, but instead of running around with their heads cut off. They treated the clients and made sure that everyone was okay. I can say that Springdale may not be the best place to take your family because some nurses do not treat them well.

“Previous studies showed a high incidence of recurrent falls in people with PD, ranging from 18% to 65% in a 1-year period” (Almeida et al., 2016, p. 1075). Falls are a risk for many people with Parkinson’s disease. People who have Parksinson’s disease and have issues with gait control have frequent falls. Nurses help care for individuals who have Parkinson’s when they enter the care facility. Exercising on a regular basis can help decrease the amount of falls with patients who have Parkinson’s disease. This paper will be located in a long term care facility and discuss how decreasing falls can improve quality of life in patients who have Parkinson’s disease.

I heard soft footsteps coming for my door. Knock, knock. “Come in,” I sighed. My mom opened the door and walked over to my bed. I could smell her sweet perfume, and was overwhelmed with a feeling of content. “Madison, my cell phone is out of minutes for the month and I need to call somebody about an ad on craigslist. It won’t be long, sweetheart.” Tony always paid her phone bill, and they were on the same contract. My feeling of content faded into disappointment. I argued with my mom for a short moment, and soon realized it was not worth it. I handed over my shiny, yet beat up purple flip phone. Mom, looking a little guilty, strolled out of my room. I decided to follow her so that I could help myself to some dinner. Holding my phone in her hand, my mom, almost skipping, made it down the stairs and out the front door in record time. “Why is she going outside to make a phone call?” I asked myself. I searched the fridge and the cupboards for any sign of food that actually looked good to me. I didn’t find anything, so I huffed to myself and turned out of the deserted kitchen and back up the stairs. Instead of going into my dreadfully boring room, I walked into my sister’s room. “Madison, what the hell? Why don’t you ever knock?” Sydnie asked, accusingly. “I’m sorry,” I wasn’t sorry, “I just can’t find anything to eat and I’m bored. And Mom is outside on the phone with some person about something. My phone.” Syd squinted at me with her soft blue eyes through her freshly dyed black hair and her heavy dark eyeliner. She had been busy typing away on the Acer laptop she’d gotten for Christmas months before. She took her eyes off me and focused back onto the screen of her laptop. I stood there in her doorway sluggishly for minutes before she finally lifted herself out of her twin size bed and made her way through her messy room. I can’t remember a time when Sydnie’s room was clean. She

The need for effective health care and incidence of chronic health conditions are expected to increase considerably with the aging of the baby boomers’ population. It is estimated that number of Americans with chronic health conditions will reach 150 million by the year 2030 (Joseph 2006). Furthermore, current long-term care facilities designed decades ago are lagging behind the legal regulation that were established, while not accommodating the needs of the staff and the clients comfortably. Some the facilities are facing regulatory challenges that emanate from the original design and intended use. Subsequently, the requirements for cost-effective long-term care facilities must be carefully

Fifth grade students from Munson Elementary spent months getting to know someone from another world, even if it was just a few miles away -- at the Heather Hill Nursing Home. The students were participating in a special biography project, arranged by fifth grade teacher Leigh Ann Ferguson. Ferguson received a grant from the Chardon Schools Foundation to have her students partner with the nursing home residents to write and publish their biographies. So thirty Munson students partnered with eleven Heather Hill residents over several visits to get to know each other. The students spent time talking, playing board games and eventually interviewing the residents about their lives. In the process they discovered that the Heather Hill residents

Annie had picked Steve up at the last strip club she worked. A Mexican dishwasher had left him behind when he’d moved on, the owner of the place had kept the eight-year old kid, letting him sleep in the back and eat the food left on the plates, after bussing the tables.

Deep in the woods there was a cabin at the end of a long, winding driveway. The screens of the windows were flapping in the wind. The steps creaked with every footstep that Ruth Smith took. As she opened the door to her Grandpa’s cabin, she wondered why he had given her this dilapidated building in his will. Ruth looked around the cabin and said “This is going to take forever to get ready to sell.”

A quick check of the alarm clock confirmed that it was too early for visitors, and the hair on her neck stood up. She threw on her bathrobe before heading to the door. She was shaking.

INT. KENDRA’S HOUSE - MORNING Doorbell rings. KENDRA (V.O.) (terrified) I would admit later, if I didn't have another choice, that I jumped like a paranoid preteen girl with a face full of zits standing in the middle of a camera store during a half off sale with free lifetime developing. Not knowing if I should answer the front door or run to my bedroom , lock the door, and go back to sleep and hope I woke up in a different nightmare. KMOM That must be Nate's mother and grand. Let's go Kendra, your grandmother is waiting for us to pick her up. KENDRA Ma, don't you think it would've been best if we had brought grandma here so we can all leave at the same time? I don't want Nate's grandmother to think that we are… KMOM I thought the same thing , but you know your

“Fanny, would you mind bringing me a fresh cup of coffee?” She called from the patio.
