rehab nursing homes

gov and search nursing home comparisons. The issue I have is that none of the nursing homes actually mention rehab. My dad has a great attitude and is working hard at his therapy sessions. Can anyone offer advice on how to effectively research and screen facilitities to ensure that my dad continues therapy with the goal of going home? Thanks!

so my grandma is at this nursing home in huntington health and rehab. a worker there is giving out information about the resident (my grandmother) to outsiders; suchs as; people not working there, her kids, other people. this is going around the school about how my grandmother acts at a nursing home. and i want this to stop. is this illegal to give out information? tell me please. and if you get it from a website, type the web site in.

After a stay in the hospital for 6 weeks we were told that she would never meet the requirements for a rehab program. She was sent to a nursing home but the family continued doing her exercise that we found helpful from the Internet and we used therapeutic needles daily to stimulate the nerves on her bad side. After a period of 5 months and getting her on a antidepressant we were able to get her to rehab. We were told first that she wouldn't live.

It may sound like an odd question, but could your grandmother have an STD? Std rates have been on the rise in nursing homes and elderly communities so it could be something to rule out.

It is now November and he is still in a nursing home in Long Term Care unit and not receiving ANY rehab. The reason the home gives is that he has "plateaued". People I have spoken to have said that he should still be receiving therapy. I realize that he is now on medicaid, (he lost his job, home, everything due to this stroke) and is being treated like a second class citizen!! He is getting very depressed. Thank you!

A reputable breeder never lets a puppy go before 8 weeks, many hold onto puppies for three to even up to six months. From 7 1/2 weeks to 8 1/2 weeks breeders evaluate the puppies to determine which puppies will go to show homes, which to pet homes and which to working homes. This one week in a puppy's life is the window period where the puppy will look the closest to what he will look like as an adult.

there are assisted living and nursing homes that are covered by these insurances you have to call the facility and talk to social services and you will need your dr to write and order that she needs to be in that type of home the social services should be able to answer further questions I have worked in both types of homes and this has been my experience I hope this helps some

her time at the rehab is covered under the hippa law which means that the doctors/staff agh the rehab CAN NOT i repeat CAN NOT tell anyone that is not on her treatment team any info about her unless she signs releases they can be in a lot of trouble if they reported her with out her breaking any law did she give consent to speak to the board of nursing about her condition?

I do hospice I'm not in a building unfortunately. I go to nursing homes, assisted livings and to patients homes.

All of the nursing homes are crummy and I don't agree with a nursing home stay as a cure or treatment for depression. Nursing homes are necessary and fulful a definite need, but psychiatric treatment is not one of those needs. In the best nursing homes there is a shortage of staff. They treat "depression" with a chemical straightjacket. Furthermore, the diet in most homes is lacking and good nutrition is part and parcel of treatment for depression.

I know ed is right about this....you carry this, you don't get rid of it. It lies dormant in your system. Nursing homes are rampant with it. There was a time that Dr.'s weren't supposed to admit residents to nursing homes if they were carriers. Hospitals hardly ever test any more for it because it is so rampant. There is even crossover from the animal population. I know because my daughter, a Registered Vet Tech, got it from the animal surgical center where she works.

Unfortunately, in the state of Washington, I have to have a years experience in the field before I take my state boards. I came across a nursing assistant program through one of the main nursing homes in our area, & it'll get me certified as a nursing assistant. This will get my foot in the door for what I wanna do with my life and help me pay for my degree. My question is...what is it like doing nursing assistant stuff? I know you're required to lift patients at times...

It would be essential to determine if they are administering any medication to her now as sometimes in nursing homes antipsychotics are given to calm people down which is an inappropriate use. Also it would be worthwhile to find out if she would be eligible for a home attendant as living in the community is better for a person in general including their health. Also you or another family member should see what the conditions are like there when visitors are not around for her safety.

And, if you have insurance or can find a way to afford it, get your husband out of a skilled nursing facility and into an acute or post-acute care rehab facility, preferably one that specializes in brain injuries. My husband had a severe stroke in August and is currently in a neurorehab. He was paralyzed on the right side, lost his ability to speak intelligbly, had no sense of balance, couldn't swallow, short-term memory loss, and had many cognitive issues.

I hope to enroll Samson in a program for therapy dogs where he will learn to visit patients in nursing homes and/or hospitals. Beside manners, the basic requirement is that the dog love people. No problem for my big, lovable golden retriever! We're still working on the manners. OUR PETS ARE SO EAGER TO HELP; WE LEARN SO MUCH FROM THEM. When you find youself reading through the posts, think about how you can help.

My mother is residing in a nursing home in a wheelchair. She has little rehab in there, because she's too tired to keep at it. She does try, but the rehab doesn't last too long because of her tiredness. She is immobilized on her left side, and can't balance herself to go on a commode.

He is probably on medicare, so speak to the department of social services, we use the Services to People with Disabilities here in my state. We have many possibilities here also for the older DS, A day care unit, nursing homes and residential facilities. Are there no group homes in your area? I am sorry about your sister, my daughter is also doing chemo right now for ovarian cancer, but her children are all adults now. You might also call the ARC in your area and ask for advice.

Isn't there some web site you can check this out on or maybe in her union book. There must some information that came with her nursing license, like all the do's and don'ts. Or maybe an 1-800 number you can call anomysley (spelling) and ask these questions.

When I was in highschool I worked at a nursing home and later a hospital. I would def. check out what's available at the hospitals as nursing homes don't usually have positions past 7 pm. At the hospital, you can either clean or work in the kitchen/cafeteria. I made over $8 an hour doing that, with no experience! I LOVE hospitals. When I have to be there for someone, or to give birth, appointments, I just love it! The smell, the atmosphere, the business...

Administration officials and Republican negotiators say the money can be taken from health care providers like hospitals and nursing homes without directly imposing new costs on needy beneficiaries or radically restructuring either program. Before the talks led by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

They are 6 days old. This morning I went in there and she was with them. I was just worried cuz my first cat had kittens a couple yrs ago and she was always with them. I guess every cat is different lol. I haven't taken them to the vet yet, I'm going to next wk when I get paid. Thank god I already have good homes for all of them, all of my sisters want one, so ill beable to see the little ones grow up. I'm for sure getting chloe fixed when she is done nursing.

Hi, I am 13 weeks pregnant n currently work at two nursing homes as a Personal Support Worker.At the one nursing home I have been there over a year but the second one I just recently started n Im not past my probation period. When should I tell this employer Im pregnant?

My cat was spade a week ago, in the last couple of days she's been showing some strange behaviour. her kittens are now 4.5 months old (she stopped nursing them 4 weeks ago) and now she's calling them and letting them nurse? Also she goes into the bed where she kept kittens (when they were born) and keeps scratching at it? Is this just a hormone inbalance where she's been spade?
