No. A nursing home is for any age person who is too ill to be cared for at home, but not in need of hospital care. Sometimes that is a person who has been hospitalized and has been found ready for discharge, but in need of intense rehabilitation, such as a stroke victim. Sometimes that person is a child with a birth condition so severe it warrants custodial care. Other names for nursing homes would be Rehab facilities or sub-acute care facilities. Most specialize in one particular type of care geriatric, rehabilitation, pediatrics, etc so the patients can interact comfortably.

False accusation by a caregiver of elderly abuse by another caregiver?
Elderly abuse is on the rise and even in some cases in some nursing homes or in the elderly person's home or if they are staying with one of their children. One must prove that the accused caregiver is actually abusing the elderly person. Some people use video cameras if they have hired a caregiver to come in an look after an elderly parent and in some cases children of the elderly who have a parent in a nursing home and suspected abuse have used video taping to catch the nurses involved actually abusing their parent. This is more common than some people realize, but there are good nursing homes. Taking care of the elderly is a daunting deed and some elderly people (due to no fault of their own) can be become stubborn such as not wanting to eat; not taking their medications; going to therapy; going to the doctors, etc. This can make an untrained caregiver very frustrated and if it continues for a long period of time there is more risk that the untrained caregiver may abuse of an elderly parent. The best one can do is to work on finding a safe place such as a nursing home or a trained caregiver to take over this difficult task of meeting the elderly person's needs. The elderly often have one or more health issues and they can be childlike in manner and many have Alzheimer's and cannot help themselves and are not responsible for what they say or do, so, to abuse the elderly is just as disgusting as abusing a child. If one can not prove the elderly is abused and if it is their parent or a relatives parents or even a friends parent then it is a good idea to discuss with the caregiver of their parent that it is time to get in a professional caregiver or their parent needs to be in a nursing home. If a caregiver is falsely accused then they can set up their own video camera so their duties will be monitored. One has to prove that caregiver has abused that elderly person. It would also be wise to seek legal counsel.
Is the presence of pet cats and dogs source of infection in nursing homes?
No, in fact it benefits the elderly just to pet the animals.
Are nursing homes or home health agencies more effective in frail elderly adults?
My doctor prefers to call it "God's Waiting Room." My mother was in a nursing home and my husband's father was in one. The nurses are very good in most of the nursing home (you have to interview several nursing homes though) but there simply aren't enough nurses to go around so although the elderly are cleaned up, fed, given medication there is little exercise for them. The nurses do the best they can. Often the first thing to go on the elderly (if you pay attention) is their legs. It's the lack of exercise. If one is fortunate enough to be wealthy enough to put their parent into an expensive nursing home then you basically can call the shots and pay all the bills. For most of us this simply isn't an option. On the whole most qualified nursing homes are pleasant and it's the visits from family (or bringing the elderly person home for a few hours on the weekend) that can make them the happiest. I think the first answer pretty much hit the nail on the head. except i think it's not enough nurses that are the problem, its the profit margin. The bottom line, the pay roll, is what says how many nurses are in the homes. I think its a real crime the way some of our elderly spend the last years or months of their lives. I don't have an answer but maybe we could put pressure on our law makers to provide more funds and more inspections of nursing homes and better training for the people that work in the nursing homes. It seems that medical science can keep people alive but there is no quality of life. Maybe the sons and daughters should quit there jobs and care for their parents. i wish I knew the answer......this is a quote ........"They will do anything for their meager small salary"...(Adolf Hitler ) I certainly agree with the above poster in saying that our elderly are not given the dignity they deserve. The nurses and doctors blame the government, yet it's the nurses and doctors that want more money, so, they get it and where does it come out of ... the care for the elderly! Administration fees are extremely high so when hospitals ask me for donations if it's over 10% they don't get a dime from me. I have gathered other people together for donations and bought a second hand machine for a hospital, but that's as much as I'll do. Who wants to line the pockets of Administration. Our governments haven't provided for the mass volume of elderly and the Baby Boomers are coming up hot and heavy and there will be a real over-load eventually. I'm 65 and everyone knows that I have given orders (as far as I know I'm in my right mind right now LOL) that I can live in my small rancher with my husband (or without depending on what happens in the future) and let me live in dignity. You can die just as well at home as you can in a nursing home and dwindle away. I love my pets, so when the time comes, don't come for me to stick me in a nursing home or I'll have a shot gun loaded with rock salt! LOL Most nursing homes don't allow pets so the elderly who have pets have to give them up (that in itself is a crushing blow.) Many of our nursing homes in British Columbia have mascots such as a dog or a cat that make the rounds, but that's not enough for some of the elderly. The elderly have put years into our society, paid taxes and some have fought in wars and we don't give them the dignity they deserve. We sign petitions here demanding better treatment and sooner or later they have to listen. The media is also a good source. I have good solutions and have written my government. How about college students or even High School students being Candy Stripers and reading to the elderly or taking them for a little walk. It would help the students and the elderly. It can be rewarding work as well. The elderly should have their own private little room with some of their own things. All my mother was allowed was a very few pictures, her teddy bears that she collected and of course a bit of clothing, but that was it! That's no way to pass on. If I could have I would have had my mother live with my hubby and I and would have had round the clock care for her and let her die in dignity in our home, but we just couldn't afford it and my mother was very ill and suffered from Dementia.
How can I apply for Nursing Home jobs ?
If you are interested in working in a nursing home the best thing to do is just go around town and apply in person at ones you want to work at. You can also go to the unemployment office as they would have nursing home jobs as well.
Nursing Homes For Rehabilitation?
Many people do not realize that nursing homes offer more than just residential care for those unable to live on their own. Nursing homes also offer in-patient rehabilitation. If rehabilitation is still needed once a patient's hospital stay is no longer covered by insurance, a nursing home will often be able to care for the patient. Most insurances will cover the cost of their stay at the nursing home.
