Home Versus Senior Care: Culpeper, VA: A Case Study

State Veterans homes fill an important need for veterans who wish to spend their last years with other individuals who served in former active duty.

We were educated by our clinical instructor on the different access codes in the building, the policies and guidelines, our assigned floor and the appointed personal support worker. Our role of professionalism as a nursing student was represented as we came prepared and greeted each healthcare and staff member. From the professional standards, I have learned throughout my clinical

Which consist of the relatives receiving monetary compensation for their care. Under the current policy, 41% of the Medicare budget of $50,000,000,000 is being advocated this particular area. We propose taking 8% of this budget and applying it towards long term home based care. Moreover, we are advocating for home based funds to be obtained by amending Medicare part B, which under the current policy only covers extended care in a Medicare-approved establishment. We do not propose totally doing away with the present system because our policy does recognize the need for these facilities to continue to meet individual needs that cannot be met in a home based environment. The proposal adds the additional component of supplemental income for a home-based long-term care of, which covers

Many seniors survive on a limited budget. When he or she finds they need extra care to remain in the home, decisions must be made. Should a home health aide be hired or an in-home caregiver? The key to finding the right individual for the job is to consider the unique needs of the senior. Once this has been determined, it becomes easier to decide who to hire for the job.
