Making the Most of the Nursing
Home Experience
You do have the power to
improve the quality of your loved one's overall nursing home experience.
Consider the following:
Get involved with the
nursing staff. Tell them about your loved one's likes and dislikes. The more
they know and understand about your loved one, the more they can understand and
anticipate his/her needs.
Get to know that staff. These
people should not be strangers to you. Learn their names and make them your
friends.
Know the resident's rights and
responsibilities. The more you understand about the resident's rights, the
more you can maintain and protect them. Conversely, every resident has a certain
amount of responsibilities that you need to understand.
Participate in the Resident's
Plan of Care.
It is always a good idea to attend any scheduled Plan of Care
meetings to discuss the goals for the resident and how the staff plans to meet
those goals.
Monitor resident care. Try to
learn as much as possible about your loved one's condition and ask questions if
you are confused about anything. If you are concerned about anything that has to
do with your loved one, talk to someone!
Be involved. Visit your loved one as
often as possible and take an interest in his/her life and activities.
Be available. Provide all phone
numbers where you can be reached (home, work, cellular, etc.)
Make sure he/she is comfortable
with their room. If the resident is not comfortable, talk to the social
worker.
Label everything. Do not just label
your loved one's clothes, label all their personal belongings. Understand the
financial picture. Make sure your know how the facility will get paid.
Protect the resident's
dignity.
All nursing homes are committed to promoting and maintaining the
dignity of the resident. Any questions: talk to the Director of Nursing or the
Administrator.
Get involved and stay
involved.
If you have questions about your loved one's care or have any complaints, talk
to the Administrator or Director of Nurses. Don't
leave the facility until you have talked to administration. They want to
hear about any problems you or your loved one is having. That is the only
way the problem can be solved.
