November 3, 2017
Elders will be exploited in a nursing facility regardless. And after a complaint, when the Director of the Home Care Facility says well you can put your mother or father in another nursing home it is a red flag to worry. You see, the whole concept of Nursing homes is a new thing over the course of a century. A nursing home is the same as foster care , or group home. In most cases there is alot of emotional abuse to say the least. Nursing homes is not exactly going to the movies or a nice home cooked meal. The concept of a nursing home was first introduced:
Starting in the 17th century, the concept of poorhouses (also referred to as almshouses) were brought to America by English settlers. All orphans, mentally ill and the poor elderly were placed into these living commons. These poorhouses gave a place where they could be given shelter and daily meals. Poorhouses continued to exist into the early 20th century despite the criticism they faced. Much of the criticism stemmed from the conditions of the poorhouses. The Great Depression overwhelmed the poorhouses as there were a lot of people that needed help and care but not enough space and funding in the poorhouses. Due to Muck Raking in the 1930s the less than favorable living conditions of the poorhouses were exposed to the public.[3] Poorhouses were then replaced with a different type of residential living for the elderly. These new residential living homes were called board-and-care homes or also known as convalescent homes.
