From the beginning of this year, and into the summer I worked as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) at an assisted living facility in Colorado. It was a great experience and it made me realize that helping people is something that I want to do no matter what. Working as a CNA has taught me so many things, but something that stands out to me is that I learned to have patience so that I could understand what someone is communicating, or trying to communicate.

The skilled nursing facility is a facility that has a medical professional (usually an RN) on duty at all times of the day. The patients that are here are usually faced with a serious illness or major physical needs.

In this article, Kane challenges many of the assumptions about long term care and about nursing homes. He begins with the premise that effective long-term care has to meet three different needs which may not be compatible with one another. These three needs are personal care, medical care, and housing. He also discusses a significant indictment of the current nursing home system and his belief that it simply is not appropriate for most elderly people because it strips far too many personal liberties. He believes that this can be traced to the history of the nursing home, which evolved as a type of quasi-hospital, but the trade-off of freedom for access to care that exists in a hospital is not the same underlying social contract that should exist fin a long term care environment. Instead when people seek out nursing homes they are seeking out care and housing, so that the environment is supposed to be one of the benefits, not something to be endured in order to get the benefit. Furthermore, because many nursing homes do both long term care and rehabilitation, he believes that they are overextended.

We never think about getting old until it hits our body or mind, but the truth is you don’t have to be old to go into nursing home or in assisted living facilities. Most times we hear families arguing “I’m okay at my home, just leave me alone” and”” I don’t need help,” but in regards they do and don’t want to anyone.

No, it is actually the opposite. In order to live in an assisted living, you pay cash. Insurance is not needed for this environment. It is an out of pocket expense for these individuals.
