Care home nurses are more likely to be complained about than nurses working in the NHS, because the negative reports about them in the public is more than the good, so residents and their relatives comes to the home with negative perceptions so the little discomfort confirms their thoughts.

Robots lack the emotional intelligence to truly be carers. And it can not interpret emotions, its just a machine and when it become malfunction it can cause a lot of damage beyond repair. Dinsow it's been programmed to do what it's doing. But humans can read emotions, interpret emotions and care with passion, feelings and desire.

In this situation safety is more important than independence, and taken into consideration Evelyn is the right person to decide for Nancy.

The nurses must follow the due process according to law to get a certified person backed by legislation to stand in for the resident and also People's capacity can change over time as their illness or impairment improves, so regular assessments of the person's capacity need to be made.

“You won’t want to stay around because you want to be real nurses”. Real NURSE? This is not fair. How important is it to be in the life of someone the family don't want to or cannot be with because of the stage he/she is in life.
What we do in care homes does not prevent the person from dying but it prolongs their life, residents age 85 and above can live up... -

Only CLINICAL and Administration, this is a whole lot, unlike hospitals where there is a manager for each role such Human resource, administration, Nutrition and so on.
Care home managers deserve greater respect and acknowledgement. -

People can keep active and engaged in care homes if only we educate the people the services or the activities that goes on in care homes before they are been admitted to the homes.
Ignorance about care home activities is what has led to the people's perception about care Homes. For example the general public perceive nurses in Hospitals and emergency setting... -

Since most of the care home residents needs one or two medications, nurses need to apply their pharmacological knowledge and skills. Identify the drug, indications, interactions, adverse reactions, side effects, because some of the medications causing relief also affect some of the organs negatively.

I have no experience on choosing a care home yet.
But to choose a care I will consider inspection reports because that will prove the home is REGISTERED and regulated by responsible officials, also testimonies from family and friends, the distance from home, quality of care and cost involve. -

The clients that find themselves in care homes deserve quality care and better conditions. Every action plan and activities including the care homes setting, the care team, leadership and the environment must be well documented and publish for easy accessibility.

If the public don't want to publish good news about care home NURSES and NURSING let's do it ourselves. Let's inform the public who we are and what we stand for.

Registered nurses may be more important than ever for good quality care delivery in care homes today, because they have gone through all the essential training, tested and certified to provide such care.

If I understand most of the care homes are been close down due to shortage of NURSES, and also the desire to become a NURSE is diminishing as evidence by reduction of applicants to study NURSING.
QUESTION
