This volume outlines the belief that nursing homes can and should support the physical, psychological, and social needs of residents, and that residents can thrive in nursing homes when these needs are met. The book's contributors explore the role that palliative or comfort care plays in enhancing the quality of life of nursing home residents as well as the medical, familial, psychological, cultural, and financial issues that influence decision-making about end-of-life care. The book is designed to be a tool to prepare social workers to advocate for a greater incorporation of palliative care and psychosocial care into the culture of nursing home care. The book includes discussions of the psychosocial needs of nursing home residents and families, the financing of long-term care and end-of-life care, ethical issues in chronic care and end of life, trends and characteristics in nursing home care, rituals and grief at end-of-life, and considerations for the future. Each chapter includes case examples to further illustrate points made.

Each topic is covered by an international expert in dementia. As such, the book will appeal to professional nurses, nursing scientists, nursing students, other healthcare professionals, and to a broad readership, and will provide a valuable resource for those working in nursing homes, as well as researchers in the field.

This book's main goal is to examine the concept of residential care from a psychological perspective. The chapter authors espouse a psychological approach to long-term residential care and an effort is made throughout the text to present a model of care that encompasses the whole individual. Since psychologists are being increasingly asked to provide consultation to long-term residential care facilities, the need for psychologically-based care models has become apparent. This text offers assistance in developing and maintaining residential care environments that maximize quality of life and personal well-being in the presence of declining physical and emotional resources that are associated with the vicissitudes of living into advanced aging. Geriatric Residential Care is divided into four parts. Part I addresses psychological and social issues facing the frail elderly who are candidates for, or are living in residential care settings. Part II addresses issues in the assessment of individuals in residential care. Part III highlights the design and execution of intervention strategies in residential care. Part IV addresses how organizational aspects of residential care contexts can optimize the quality and meaningfulness of care.

Growth in the number of older Canadians (i.e., those age 65 and older) has brought nursing home (NH) care into sharper focus. Although the physical health needs of NH residents are well described, less is known about which psychological and social needs are important to this population. The objectives of this dissertation are to: (a) develop and content validate a list of psychosocial needs relevant to NH residents that is informed by theory and their experiences, (b) use the developed list of needs and the perspectives of family members to determine which psychosocial needs are most important to residents with dementia and to a preliminary extent, residents without dementia, and (c) begin to understand how NH staff are enabled or hindered in meeting NH residents' psychosocial needs. A comprehensive literature review and focus group with NH residents (n = 5) informed the development of the initial list of psychosocial needs. A Delphi survey administered through both a mailing and an online format with family members (n = 34) was used to establish consensus about which of these psychosocial needs were essential for NH residents with dementia. From the initial list of 25 psychosocial needs, family members of residents identified 16 needs that are highly important for residents with dementia. These needs can be grouped into the categories of choice and control, personal effectiveness, social connection, fun and pleasure, and self-acceptance. Six of these needs were identified by family members as being essential for resident well-being, which were grouped into the categories of choice and control (choice to accept or decline help from others), personal effectiveness (perceiving that staff are responsive to requests, access to devices that increase independence, and opportunities to talk with staff about care), and social connection (opportunities to maintain relationships with friends and family outside the nursing home, and warm and caring exchanges with staff). There was considerable overlap between the essential psychosocial needs for residents with dementia and a small sample of residents without dementia. Further, these needs are closely aligned with Self Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000). The results of the Delphi survey informed a follow-up focus group with NH staff (n = 10) to better understand the strategies they use to help residents meet their psychosocial needs, as well as the challenges they encounter when trying to do so. Staff perceived that providing person-centred and individualized care, as well as engaging in their own self-care, facilitates residents' psychosocial well-being. Staff perceived that residents' psychosocial needs are met though exercising choice and control wherever possible. Safety concerns, lack of time, and conflict with family members were some of the challenges identified by staff in helping residents to meet their needs. NH facilities are encouraged to explore how to support staff members' efforts to meet these needs and minimize the barriers identified in this research. Smaller staff-resident ratios and additional staff training and education are two of several possible strategies to support staff in meeting residents' psychosocial needs. The results of this study can help advance our knowledge of NH residents' psychosocial needs and the role that staff members play in meeting these needs. Collectively, these findings are consistent with a person-centred philosophy of NH care. They also underscore the importance of future research examining effective interventions to address nursing home residents' psychological and social needs, especially those related to choice and control, personal effectiveness, and social connection. This information will be helpful for optimizing nursing home residents' mental health, well-being, and quality of life.

“Abuse, although often not detected or reported, existed in every facility we surveyed. It is a serious problem.” Old, weak, and often cognitively impaired, nursing home patients can be easy targets for physical, psychological, material, and financial mistreatment at the hands of those entrusted with their care, safety, and well-being. Maltreatment of Patients in Nursing Homes: There Is No Safe Place examines the dark side of nursing homes, where not every employee has the commitment of Mother Theresa. This groundbreaking book applies criminological theory to help develop practical methods of controlling abuse and presents the results of the first and only nationwide study on the theft of patients’ belongings, a form of abuse too often ignored by the nursing home industry. 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 of 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) the who, what, and why of nursing home theft 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) 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.

"Nurses play a vital role in improving the safety and quality of patient car -- not only in the hospital or ambulatory treatment facility, but also of community-based care and the care performed by family members. Nurses need know what proven techniques and interventions they can use to enhance patient outcomes. To address this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), with additional funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has prepared this comprehensive, 1,400-page, handbook for nurses on patient safety and quality -- Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for Nurses. (AHRQ Publication No. 08-0043)." - online AHRQ blurb, http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/nurseshdbk/
