Caregiving at the Crossroads: August 2013
http://caregivingcrossroads.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Caregiving at the Crossroads. Friday, August 9, 2013. Consumers want - and deserve - so much more. We have a saying in our office that the senior care industry is only one lead news story away from some drastically increased regulations. We may have seen that one news story recently. The Frontline piece, Life and Death in Assisted Living, may have scared consumers enough that they start asking - and pushing - for regulations that change the senior care industry. Change is indeed coming to Caregiving.

Caregiving at the Crossroads. Monday, April 12, 2010. Culture Change in Care Today. Have you ever heard of the Pioneer Network. It’s a website and a movement devoted to changing the culture in nursing homes today. I’d heard about this movement, and certainly heard the words “culture change” associated with nursing homes for the past two decades. I thought that real culture change was happening everywhere, in every nursing home in the U.S. What will it take to create an environment where caregivers are em...

Some days you know that you should just sit down and shut up, because someone else is able to express exactly what you’re thinking, but in a much clearer way. That’s how I felt today when I came across Jonathan Rauch’s article, Letting Go of My Father. In April’s online edition of the Atlantic magazine. Today, family caregiving is much the same way. Caregivers report a higher rate of depression and stress than...
