Accustomed Quotes
Many, particularly elderly people who are accustomed to getting flu shots from private physicians or those in nursing homes and institutional settings, are not able to get their flu shots. Health departments, which customarily plan on having clinics in mid to late October are having to postpone or cancel until such time as they get an adequate supply of vaccine.
-
Care Quotes
Seniors and people with disabilities overwhelmingly prefer home and community care options to nursing homes when possible. Family Care has proven people can get the long-term care they need and prefer, and that this can save money for taxpayers by helping people stay healthy and independent.
-
Admitted Quotes
So many patients today are nursing home patients, they have what we call multiple diagnoses. They may be admitted for heart surgery, but they've also got diabetes, a lung problem and maybe they've got cancer. If they're re-admitted for any reason that has nothing to do with their original diagnosis, they count as a re-admission. Patients are so incredibly complex.
-
Aged Quotes
Most of us would prefer that our own aged and infirm family member be cared for at home with the right kind of supporting services, as opposed to in a nursing home. For that reason the state created the PASSPORT program, which provides services to elderly and disabled people in their own homes.
-
Act Quotes
Medicaid is projected to spend $340 billion in 2006 in combined federal and state dollars. I encourage everyone to think of this program not as a problem, but as an opportunity for real progress, ... A 21st Century Responsible Citizen Medicaid Act would empower those who depend on Medicaid and align incentives so that patients receive markedly better care at lower cost in an environment where physicians, hospitals, pharmacists and nursing homes compete for patients based on the value of their services.

Attitude Quotes
My father was a psychiatrist, the medical director of a mental hospital in Scotland, and when I was a student, I took vacation jobs there as a nursing assistant. So I did get to see mental illness, but I don't remember conversations about mental conditions. My father was a cheerful man with a robust attitude to such things.
-
Connect Quotes
Obviously, if everyone has contracted with the same ambulance service, there could be serious problems. We are in favor of requiring the county EOCs to review the nursing home plans not just individually, but how they connect and how much they depend on the same resources and whether that is viable.

Across Quotes

Anticipate Quotes
I anticipate Lufkin to lose power on Sunday, so we are preparing be without power. A nursing home must maintain electricity as long as possible because many of our patients are on oxygen concentrators and feeding tubes that depend on electricity to run. And there are a lot of meals to prepare.
-
Across Quotes
I think what (the survey) shows is, across the state, families of residents in nursing homes are happy, as a rule. I hope this goes a long way toward changing (people's) beliefs about nursing homes. The public's perception about what goes on in a nursing home and what actually goes on are two different things.

Barry Quotes
Sports is a game. You need to play by the rules. If the rules aren't being followed, that to me sounds like cheating. But that's not a medical problem. Barry Bonds doesn't look like he's ready for the nursing home, ... I think a lot more science needs to be done to verify what we should do.
-
Concerns Quotes
Some of the concerns of the nursing students are difficult to see how the merger would create new synergy. Between faculty and increase opportunity for interdisciplinary teaching and research. This would hurt our resources. Our programs are so dissimilar and grants and gift funding are very specific.
-
Certainly Quotes
It finally seems to be the right time. We seem to have an increased interest in nursing in our students, and some donors who are willing to help finance the program. There is a shortage of nurses worldwide, and it certainly fits well into the mission of FHU as far as serving others.
-

It features a spacious open floor plan enabling direct nursing observation of all rooms, new monitors and equipment, and several amenities to ensure patient comfort and privacy. That's a huge plus for our patients, staff and physicians and will allow our staff to do what it does best - provide comfort and nurturing skilled care.

Home Quotes
And isn't that weird? Think about this, when you're born, you nurse on your mama. And then you get a little older, you go to applesauce. And then you see these toddlers walking around with these Ziploc baggies full of Cheerios. Then you get to be my age, and the doctor wants you to start eating Cheerios to watch your cholesterol. Then you lose your teeth, you go to applesauce. I now know why old men like women with really big boobs. They see a trend. I mean, they call it a nursing home, hello.
-
Babies Quotes
We are on the edge of a nursing shortage, because we can't replace the early Baby Boomers who are retiring. Occupational and physical therapists are very popular now, too, as is the physician's assistant degree because you have a lot of the same rights and privileges as a doctor, including good pay, with fewer responsibilities.
-
Lying Quotes
They say 'life is precious'. To who? To you, when you're young and you've got a few dollars in your pocket. Tell that to the 90-year-old lying awake at the graveyard shift in the nursing home, groaning with dementia. The only reason he hasn't killed himself is that he hasn't figured out a way he can do it with pudding.
-
Opposites Quotes
The works of mercy are the opposite of the works of war, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, nursing the sick, visiting the prisoner. But we are destroying crops, setting fire to entire villages and to the people in them. We are not performing the works of mercy but the works of war.
-
Emotional Quotes
Someone must transform income into the food, shelter, clothing, nurture, discipline, education, minding, nursing, transportation, and emotional support that creates life outside of the office, permits survival of the race, cares for the ill and disabled, and makes life livable when we can no longer care for ourselves.
-
