Warm and Caring Facilities

In the book “The Soul of Care”, the author Arthur Kleinman MD talks about a nursing facility he had visited when thinking about placing his wife, whose Alzheimer’s disease was worsening. He said, “I pulled up in the rain-soaked parking lot of what seemed to be an unpromising nursing home. The outside was bleak and institutional. The carpet in the entrance hallway was old and faded, as was the flowered wallpaper. Unlike the other nursing homes we visited, however, is this one we saw residents smiling, taking part in activities, singing, doing exercises, playing bingo and other games, and surrounded by lively and engaged staff. We heard laughter and conversation, and we saw people moving around.”

I have worked in many nursing facilities during the years I worked in hospice. One of my favorites is exactly how Mr. Kleinman describes in his book. I love going to that facility. The staff is warm and caring and welcomed me with open arms.

I have been so impressed with the care they give people who “have no voice” as one caregiver there told me. Did you catch that? She feels that her job is to give her patients a voice because they have no voice. How do you have no voice? Dementia robs you of your voice. No longer can you say, “My right hip is killing me and I need something for pain.” You need sensitive caregivers and nurses to see the nonverbal signs of pain to know that is what is “being said.”

If you have to place your loved one in a facility for care that you can no longer provide and/or for safety issues, look for facilities that are clean (definitely) but listen for laughter and engaged staff and activities. Look for caregivers and nurses who look at the residents eye-to-eye and who enter their reality with a smile.

đź’« Hospice: A Compassionate Approach to End-of-Life Support

Did you know that hospice care is more than just a service? It's a Medicare benefit designed to provide holistic care and support to individuals with a terminal diagnosis.

❤️ A compassionate team, including MDs, RNs, CNAs, Social Workers, Chaplains, and volunteers, offers holistic care for patients and their families. Hospice care aims to meet physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. This support extends beyond end-of-life, guiding families through the grieving process.

Hospice is a vital resource and option for patients and their families.

Case Study

One of Enfermera’s experienced nurses accompanied the client to several oncologist appointments. The nurse reviewed all lab results and tests, and explained the significance of each test to the client and family, while working with the oncologist during chemotherapy. The nurse explained to the client and family the benefits and burdens of completing chemotherapy and helped them explore their feelings if chemotherapy was stopped and if the cancer returned.

Nutrition for older adults plays a vital role in maintaining strength, independence, and overall quality of life as we age. As the body changes, nutrient needs shift—making it especially important to focus on balanced, nourishing foods that support energy, muscle health, bone strength, brain function, and immune health.

A healthy diet for seniors emphasizes lean proteins to preserve muscle, fiber-rich foods to aid digestion and heart health, and calcium and vitamin D to support strong bones. Adequate hydration is also essential, as thirst cues can diminish with age. Proper nutrition can help manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure, while also supporting medication effectiveness and recovery from illness or injury.

Many solo agers enjoy independence and autonomy, pursuing social activities, hobbies, friendships, and personal interests. For some, living alone doesn’t mean being lonely, especially when they maintain robust social connections. - https://www.aarp.org/family-relationships/solo-aging/
