Living
in assisted facilities makes keeping up with these things that much
easier. There’s no need to arrange for transportation and no danger
of missing an appointment. The medical care alone is reason enough
for families to consider this wonderful care option.

Thank you so much for your comment! We appreciate your sharing your

thoughts about the creation of mental health guidelines for patients in

nursing home care. This certainly is a situation that is extremely

important, not only for those who currently are living in a nursing or

rehabilitation facility, but for all of us who may one day need these

services. Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this

conversation!

Sincerely,

From the information I have gathered it appears we need stronger mental health guidelines in assisted living facitlies that are not mental facilities just regular assisted living facilities. We only have State Regulations. No Federal Guidelines at all. I am researching now to see if we need Federal Guidelines or what avenue to go to be an active advocate of assisted living facilities and mental health guidelines. I have been a resident of an assisted living faciliities for 8 years and very much know we need strong guidelines to govern the mentally ill who mental and abuse, verbally other residents too often. Some throw things and hit. Sandra Boletchek

Verbal abuse is often more difficult to see since there are rarely any visible scars unless physical abuse has taken place. But it is often less visible simply because the abuse may always take place in private. The victim of verbal abuse lives in a gradually more confusing realm. In public, the victim is with one person. While in private, the abuser may become a completely different person.
