Beyond the Brochure: Evaluating a Nursing Home's Commitment to Care When seeking long-term care, it's essential to question whether a nursing home truly has the applicant's best interests at heart. While many facilities prioritize resident care and well-being, others may focus more on filling beds and generating revenue. Red flags include: - Pressure to sign admission contracts quickly - Lack of transparency about services and fees - Limited flexibility in care plans - Overemphasis on financial assets Conversely, facilities with a genuine interest in residents' well-being will: - Offer personalized care plans - Encourage family involvement - Provide clear and detailed information - Prioritize resident comfort and dignity When touring facilities, pay attention to staff attitudes, resident interactions, and the overall atmosphere. Ask questions and advocate for yourself or your loved one. Remember, a nursing home should prioritize care, not profits.

While both nursing homes and assisted living provide support and care for seniors, why are assisted living facilities more desirable for elders and their families? Ultimately, the choice between assisted living and nursing homes depends on the individual's health condition, preferences, and the level of care needed. However, if you need more independence and enjoy social interaction, assisted living is often the better option.

If you’re a nursing home resident, participating in a resident council is one of your RIGHTS. It’s also your right to receive a timely response from the nursing home team when your council makes a request or suggestion. Sometimes nursing home teams may require more time to respond to resident requests. If this is an issue in your community, consider using a simple ACTION FORM 📝. The form helps you document a request and your proposed solutions, and it tracks how and whether the nursing home team has responded. 🌟 Test out the Moving Forward Coalition’s sample Action Form here: https://lnkd.in/eGzzPVp6 💡 It’s just one of the fantastic resources in our Strengthening Resident Councils Guide, which you can find at https://lnkd.in/eHAfMjri: https://lnkd.in/eHAfMjri #ResidentCouncils #ResidentsRights #MovingForward #NursingHome

💭Myth #1: Senior Living Communities are Nursing Homes 💡Insight: Contrary to popular belief, senior living communities are far from being nursing homes. Faye shares, "It’s not a nursing home by any means. It’s a place that aids in your needs or weaknesses but also promotes your strengths and the life you want to continue leading. Meeting and being around other people is the biggest advantage; no one should be alone in their home." #SeniorLivingFacts #DebunkingMyths

When one half of a couple needs nursing home care, it can take an emotional toll on all involved. And when that time comes, families deserve a nursing home team who are partners on the journey of caregiving. Critical to that partnership are communication, trust, and involvement. When one spouse needs nursing home care, it’s not an act of “giving up.” Instead, it’s quite the opposite: it’s providing that loved one the care and quality of life they deserve, through adding quality, qualified bench depth, capability, and capacity. It’s a partnership of compassion. Make sure you find the right partner for that caregiving.

Here at Acquaint, we 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 the value of comprehensive, personalised care – 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺. And we don’t let anything stand in the way of our clients getting it. Even if they’re already residing in a nursing home, as is the case with many of our clients. Combining a nursing home with private care offers countless benefits. Our clients can stay connected to their local community with their own personal carer taking them out to see loved ones, all while receiving the one-on-one tailored support of private care. It truly is the best of both worlds – for client and carer alike. Just read this excerpt from a recent staff report: ‘Today was such a wholesome day. [Client] was very chatty, telling me stories about all the trinkets in her home. We went to Church Street for lunch and then hit the movies. We had Japanese with one of her friends in Elsternwick. All of her medications were taken on time – with food – so that upon returning back to the nursing home, it was seamless. [Client] voiced multiple times how grateful she was for the marvellous day we had together.’ So, if you once thought private care and nursing homes were mutually exclusive, think again. Here at Acquaint, we see them as a 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. #HomeCare #TailoredAssistance #HomeCareServices #HelpAtHome #PrivateCare #AgedCare #QualityOfLife #ItsTheCompanyYouKeep #PrivateHomeCare #PremiumService
