Anyway, I am not going to a nursing home because I won't live
without a dog. Really. This is not intended as a joke.
Hi,
There are really great long-term care facilities--the best are based on what
is called The Eden Alternative--and they allow for pets (there are studies
which show how much better the quality of life is if one is allowed a pet).
Many also have child care centers in them--as the inter-generational
interaction is also very important (to both age groups, actually). Most of
these are
not-for-profits, but not all.
The issue of regulation is important, though, as is allowing for an
exemption for the whole 'cap' on trials in regards to nursing home care. The
feds
(in particular) have said (at meetings...) that the threat of the incredible
lawsuits is sometimes the only leverage they have for improving the care after
a horrible 'incident' occurs or after so many deficiencies. Otherwise, they
will just deal with the 'slap on the hand' and leave things the
same...probably figure out how to 'write it off', too...
