Infos

Find out what really goes on behind the scenes of long-term care facilities in Be Aware of That Nursing Home.Drawing from Richard Danfords unparalleled, hands-on experience and insight into the long-term care system and its impact on consumers and families, this resource serves as an essential guide for those navigating the complexities of choosing nursing home care, emphasizing the importance of dignity, rights, and quality of life. Not only a testament to Richards lifelong commitment to advocacy, its also a call to action for systemic change.At a time when nursing home conditions are once again in the media, Be Aware of That Nursing Home offers a valuable perspective not commonly available to potential nursing home consumers and family members. What is available is slick, often misleading marketing created by an industry reaping massive profits off taxpayer dollars. Information attempting to influence policymakers is mostly provided by well-meaning academics, data experts, or attorneys who are one step removed from personally witnessing the everyday realities of nursing home environments. Those efforts are repeatedly squelched by the well-financed, powerful lobbyists of the long-term care industry. Otherwise, the tragic, unacceptable conditions in far too many nursing homes would never have happened.Be AwareThat Nursing Home informs consumers and families as to how todays nursing homes came about, what tragedies occur daily, and what consumers need to know to protect themselves when choosing a facility. Not only is this information crucial for consumers and families, but its also important for the underappreciated, underpaid professionals attempting to serve in dysfunctional and often life-threatening environments.
