The Residents

As Michael Patrick McDonald contends, South Bostonians think of Southie as the “best place in the world”, and there is a silence that consumes the residents when it comes to discussing the woes of the past. And in such a physically and culturally secluded area of the City of Boston, it is unlikely that anything the citizens are not willing to discuss would be otherwise recorded. In speaking of lost

The themes in La Haine and Balibar’s article are intertwined. The violent nature of the riots were based around the race, class, and religion of the residents of the banlieues and their anger at the treatment they received. Violence in La Haine and Balibar’s article are similar. La Haine showed the police being antagonistic towards the main characters, much like they were during the real riots. The police would target the youth who did not go to school or were done for the day. Also, with no jobs

doors of the nursing home I noticed most of the residents were sitting in the hallways in their wheel chairs. Some of the residents were rolling down the hall with no destination while others were carrying on conversations with other residents that had no idea they were even talking to them. The aroma of the nursing home wasn’t pleasant, it smelled like a place that was quite familiar to me. My grandma’s house, it smelled musty and as if every resident had mothballs in their rooms. I also noticed the

volunteers are there to make sure that the residents who live there are taken care of and stay safe. The type of teamwork that is seen at Camphill Village is a cross functional team, with all the volunteers and the residents coming together to make the village work. A cross functional team is when employees/individuals from about the same hierarchical level, but from different work areas come together to accomplish a task (Robbins & Judge, 2015). The residents and volunteers come from different backgrounds

A duty of care is a legal obligation taken on by carer, with the understanding that we are agreeing to make sure that we provide a high standard and quality of care to our residents. Every person is entitled to be supported and should be able to live in an environment such as a care home, which is free from prejudice, safe from abuse, cared for in a reasonable, responsible and respectful manner and where they can feel protected. Under the terms of duty of care, it is our responsibility to make sure

On 30 December 2015 I was on duty. I reported at the reception at 07.45 AM using a code at the device from the entrance as I am working in a Care Home where the residents suffer from Dementia and due to their condition related with memory loss need to be protected as they can leave but not able to remember the way back in accordance with SOVA legislation; using my fog to clock in and also signing into the staff book in case of of fire and the place need to be evacuated.

be increasingly difficult if you are looking for the ideal dog to become part of a community. One of the most difficult challenges of aging of the loss of a pet. While it is not uncommon for retirement communities to allow small cats and dogs, the resident needs to be able to independently care for their pet either by themselves, family, or paid caregivers. As a geriatric social worker, I am a firm believer in the power of the human animal bond, and totally support seniors with maintaining a relationship

become a resident? To begin with, I realize that nursing homes work within clearly set boundaries of law and standards of medical practices; Therefore they are only so flexible with the patients, doing their best most times to make sure that everyone is treated fairly by following required guidelines. Even at that, once in a while, there are instants where things do not go as planned and some residents get abused. Mainly because the people that work in close collaboration with the residents are not

arranging medical care, such as routine appointments or follow-up care as needed, in the event the resident or his or her guardians do not. In addition, a staff member normally attends the resident’s medical appointment. Each resident, or his or her guardian, is allowed to seek treatment from a physician of their choice. If they do not chose a physician, the group homes will bring the residents for medical care to consulting physicians. Frances House pays its consulting physicians a total of

The study collected quantitative data through observation of the residents and qualitative analysis through, “face-to-face interviews with caregivers and visitors” of the facility. (Cox et al., 2004, p. 38). Rice Village built two separate MSE’s, a Snoezelen room and an outdoor garden. Both environments were presented to the nursing home setting at the same time, disallowing familiarity of the settings to the residents prior to the study. The Snoezelen room used equipment such as, “a bubble
