Planning ahead for a nursing home

The Average American is living longer these days. Medical advances, better diets and other factors contribute to this longevity. Because of this, more and more Americans are coming into contact with nursing homes. As people grow older, many need the type of care a nursing home can provide. Recently, however, it has been found that while most nursing homes are providing adequate care, others are not. Government hearings in New York and Washington, for instance, have exposed negligence and

corruption by seme nursing home operators. Finding a g*od nursing home will take time and effort, but if you know what to look for, you can improve y« *r chances of finding a good one. The Better Business Bureau advises that you plan ahead, even if you don't forsee needing one soon. A sudden emergency or serious illness could force you into a fast decision — one that you may regret later. Other Options Recent studies by the general accounting office, and the cities of New York. Minneapolis and Cleveland, disclosed that many patients in nursing homes do not actually require skilled care; they didn’t need to be in a home at all. J Your first step is to consider whether a nursing home is the best alternative. You may have other options. Supportive services for the aged at home are available through community programs in many areas, including mobile meals programs and transportation services. Counseling and emergency services from psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers may be available. Or it may be more feasible to hire a trained nurse for in-home care, or a homemaker to help with cooking, laundry and cleaning Care at home could be relatively inexpensive, and more satisfying for the patient. If more intensive care is required, be sure to investigate carefully all the nursing homes in your area. Personal Visit When you look at a home, talk to the administrator and to the staff. Make an unannounced visit, pref era bly at mealtime or in the evening. The Better Business Bureau suggests you keep in mind the following questions These considerations are no guarantee that you’ll find the perfect home, but they will help pinpoint the poor ones: Do both the home and the administrator have current state licenses’ 1 Will the patient be provided with a special diet or therapy if needed? Does the home meet necessary fire codes and hold fire drills? Are exits marked clearly and not locked on the inside? Are fire doors kept closed? Is there an automatic sprinkler system? (A recent study by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare found that two-thirds of the nursing homes surveyed had “several (one or more) deficiencies” in terms of fire safety.) What services come under an “extra charges” category? Some homes charge extra for wheelchairs, bed pans, tissues, senile care (determined at the discretion of the administrator) or bed sore care. Is there a full-time physician? Are registered nurses, not only nurse’s aides, on duty? Can you see their credentials? Are there physical facilities and staff for physical therapy’’ Do the patients look happy and alert, or drugged and docile? This is a very important sign of the quality of care they receive. Are there odors or other signs of unsanitary- conditions? How does the staff treat the patients? Do they appear interested. or apathetic, or overworked? Does each bed have curtains for privacy and a nurse call bell? Do hallways, stairs and bathrooms have grab rails? How is the food? You should sample it yourself. Is food served at normal meal hours? All three meals, for example, may be served during one eight-hour shift Try to find out how patients and their relatives feel about the home. Do patients share rooms on the basis of their preferences and compatibility? Before you decide definitely on a nursing home, call your Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints against the home have been filed. LAKELAND LOCAL Mr. and Mrs. Herman Miller of Milford were entertained Sunday evening in honor of their birthdays by Mr. and Mrs. James Wolf of Atwood. Also present were Pam Wolf and Mr and Mrs Joe Wolf, Jennifer and Jim Bob.
