Care of residents

Care conferences are held for every person receiving health care at home or in a care facility. They help the “care team” ~ everyone involved in the person’s care ~ share information and work together to meet the person’s needs (1). In this case study, I am the LPN who is responsible to organize a care conference for three of the residents in the residential home that I work with. To organize this care conference, it is imperative that I will fully know the goals for each of the resident. I have…

The first and most important method would be, getting to know the resident. As a nurse aide, I would take some time to sit and talk to my residents. By doing so, I will be building a relationship with the resident which allows for better communication and understanding between one another. This will also help me to figure out what my resident’s favorite activities, hobbies, movies, etc. With this information I could try to incorporate these items into their daily or weekly events which would…

quarrels arise between residents as well as RAs. In attempt to steer away from such hazards, I am in search of a plan of action that would build and improve the community in the dorms. Some of the problems that currently exist are resistants not obeying their resistant assistance, jealousy, and conflict between roommates. The Rule of Saint Augustine is a tool people can use to address these…

its finest. Each apartment includes a living room, kitchenette, spacious closets, and nearby parking. Residents can enjoy restaurant-style dining where they are provided with three meals each day. The meals are prepared in a homemade fashion and individuals can enjoy their meal while visiting with other…

Acceptance Never Ends Even in a Nursing Home: The Purpose of Popularity Amongst Residents at Montgomery Care Center Coffee and News Activity Group Setting I walk through the doors of the Montgomery Care Center. Inside there is a small living room to the right with typically one resident watching television and to the right, a window into an office. I wave at the woman at the desk and then sign in at the visitor’s book. I then head right at the end of the hallway and make my way down the…

Question 1: a) Please indicate what attracted you to this post? What attracted me most about the position of a Resident Assistant was the opportunity to help other students with the difficulties of university life which I experienced myself. Although Edinburgh is not a large city, it was still difficult for me to adapt to this new lifestyle. Wouldn’t have it been for my Residents Assistants, it would have been far more challenging for me. Now that I am given the opportunity to do the same for…

institutional videos, I could not help but think about how the residents felt while living in such horrible institutions. Throughout the clips, there was a common theme within each that the residents of institutions were not treated the same as many other civilians. The residents were treated horrible along with the conditions of the institutions being horrendous and unbearable for them. It was clear that the employees did not care about the residents. The videos on Pennhurst, Willow brook, and…

disorder that is near and dear to my heart. I worked in an Alzheimer’s and dementia facility for almost a year and a half. While working there I grew very close to a lot of the residents that I cared for. One specifically stood out to me. Even though Alzheimer’s had taken so much from her, she was still so loving and pure. This resident was always walking around holding a baby; it was one of the very few words she could still say. The few words she could still say were; baby, honey, and her…

This public housing agency cares sincerely about their resident and want to make sure that they are doing the best they can at meeting the needs of the residents. May I ask you a couple of questions? Social work roles: The text was not clear about the roles of the social worker, beside to interview the residents. However if I had to guess what the social…

the kind of work that this job requires. I know so many people who are CNA’s and hate the work that they do. If you come and do this job and do not enjoy doing it, you will not do perform very well. A huge part of this job is interacting with the residents and showing compassion for them. While in this field you need to know that every resident’s needs and situations are different; what works for one, may…
