seems to me that the women who is in the nursing home but does not want to be there is where she should be. i understand that she would be "happier" at home, but lets be honest, she would not be healthier for it. I can think of countless jobs where i was called to the home of a patient who clearly needed to be in a nursing home setting, but had refused to go and as a result anly had a home care attendant. How many times did you go to a call where the home attendant states that the patient is having abd. pain and you get there and the ptient is in APE or about to code? personlly speaking i have many of these horror home care stories. I understand that people dont want to placed in these facilities because they feel abandoned or homesick, but health must come first.
