Maltreatment of Patients in Nursing Homes surveys employees, administrators, and family members of patients in 47 nursing homes throughout the United States. Their responses provide invaluable insights on a wide range of topics, including the social and psychological factors that cause different types abuse, characteristics of nursing home patients and employees, the bureaucracy of nursing homes, victimization rates, workforce issues of nursing home aides, and federal regulations for nursing homes. The information gained from the surveys forms the basis for detailed recommendations for creating a safer environment and reducing all forms of abuse, including theft-prevention training programs, background checks and improved screening of potential employees, education and advocacy for current staff, and the reform of federal regulations. Maltreatment of Patients in Nursing Homes examines: types of physical abuse (restraints, sexual abuse, neglect) types of financial abuse (trust accounts, bank accounts, improper charges for services and drugs, identity theft) types of psychological abuse (abandonment, segregation, childlike treatment, verbal abuse) effects of psychological abuse (depression, learned helplessness, psychiatric disorders) reasons for abuse by employees (staff turnover, job burnout, job dissatisfaction, caregiver stress) the who, what, and why of nursing home theft One of the few books to deal with abuse of the elderly outside a domestic setting, Maltreatment of Patients in Nursing Homes: There is No Safe Place interprets and analyzes abuse to provide new ways of thinking about this growing problem and new methods of preventing it from growing any more widespread.

What happens in nursing homes?  What's it like to be alone, often confused,and without control over your medical care, property, or even your daily routine? Ombudsman. What happens in nursing homes? is a vignette of life in long term care facilities: the good days, the hellish days, and the often insurmountable problems faced by the only group that represents the residents, the federally-mandated Long-Term Care Ombudsmen Council. The author describes 26 of the cases she investigated, and discusses the operation and the future of this program. Florida's volunteer ombudsmen effectively represented approximately 50,000 elders, or about 31 percent of the state's 163,000 long-term care residents in the fiscal year 2005-2006. Ombudsmen investigated complaints ranging from improper medication administration, poor menu quality and billing practices to exploitation, unattended symptoms, improper evictions, and matters of dignity and respect and, in addition, conducted 2,852 inspections of long-term care facilities.Author: Bobbye, Sikes Wicke Paperback: 112 pages Company: Bobbye Sikes Wicke (2007-09-15) ISBN: 0967765293 List Price: $10.00 Amazon Price: $8.28 Used Price: $9.27 Home life helps in schizophrenia.(focus): An article from: Australian Nursing Journal This digital document is an article from Australian Nursing Journal, published by Australian Nursing Federation on September 1, 2004.
