Since my last journal entry, I have had the chance to have new experiences at the nursing home. Not only do we get to view the jail tomorrow, which I know that all of us in the clinical group are excited to experience, we get to do a med-pass, and we will get the chance to go to Hospice. Hospice is a place that I had heard about and briefly knew about before coming to Riverside, but I really didn’t know that much about it. Every nursing home that I have had clinical at or worked at has had residents that are on hospice, but none have had a specific hospice house like Riverside does. Riverside is unique in the sense that there are residents there that are on hospice, but there is also an onsite hospice home that coincides with the nursing …show more content…
The biggest difference between the hospice home and the nursing home is the number of residents per floor or unit. In the hospice home, there are two wings, each having room for 7 residents. However, in the nursing home there are units that have up to 40 or 45 residents that are cared for by those 2 nurses and 6 LNAs on a good day. It was a weird experience going from such an active place with tons of residents to going to the laid back place known as hospice. I had the chance to work with a great nurse both times that I was at hospice. Her strategy was different than most registered nurses that have nursing students walk around with them. Generally when I have worked or shadowed with a nurse in the past, they have let me do everything that has needed to be done. An example of that was when I was with Elaine up on unit 5: when I worked with her for the clinical day she let me jump right in and be the person to do everything. When I worked with the nurse in hospice, I primarily just followed the nurse around both days I was there. At the time I was a little annoyed that I was not doing anything, since the first day all that I did was sit in a chair and read patients charts. The second day I actually got to read charts and talk to the family members when the doctor came to talk about the resident. I hated not being able to move and do things while at hospice, since so many of the other

Authors often write to express a certain emotion or to get an important lesson or theme across to the readers. Other authors write to create a picture for others to see as the author sees it. Ernest Hemingway creates The Sun Also Rises to do both jobs. It’s a lot harder to visualize something if there is not enough description, but Hemingway uses the right amount of detail to paint a picture of every lesson he wants to teach. Colors are a very important part of describing how things look, and they can also be used relatively with a strong characteristic of one’s character. Hemingway uses color throughout the novel as a way to characterize important themes. In particular, white symbolizes purity, purple symbolizes adventure, and red is a

Nursing Home Administration is an area which specialized in medical and health services management. Nursing home administrators specialize to supervise clinical and administrative affairs of nursing homes and related facilities. They also have a working knowledge of the physical and psychological effects of the aging process. An administrator’s duties includes overseeing staff and personnel, financial matters, medical care, medical supplies, facilities, and other duties as specific positions demand. This paper will discuss different aspects of nursing home administrator and I will follow up with an interview by Kathy Kondolf, an administrator at Heartland of Zephyrhills.
“The Palace” is located in the heart of the gables. It is one of the top notch awarded nursing home facilities for seniors stated by many families. Currently being an employee at this facility, I am learning the frightful stories of senior living. Even the Palace one of the most expensive, awarded senior living is actually a terrible place for the elderly. Especially, working at the Front Desk as the receptionist, I have seen firsthand how these poor seniors are forced into these haunted “luxurious” homes. The marble of the building has been often a misleading reason for placing their parent or grandparent in such terrible care. Most humans tend to judge by the appearance of the nursing homes rather than further investigating any violations that the facilities may have. From my own experience with my grandmother, I know it can be very difficult to take care of a senior citizen, especially when they suffer from various conditions and are just not safe in their home. Once adults become seniors, they require a lot of attention and assistance, which is hard when running a whole household and a career. But placing your loved one in one of these facilities can just shorten the amount of time they have to live. Also, it can be very expensive. Lastly, nursing home makes seniors feel the lack of freedom.

To form and operate integrated health care delivery systems successfully requires a great deal of commitment, leadership, and business savvy and can pose major challenges to even the most experienced health care executives. Health care providers integrate for many reasons. From the insurance and liability perspective, risk financing for these entities has also been integrated.
