This editorial is intended to enlighten those unaware of
the existing conditions in some nursing homes.
The time will come for many when a decision must be
made to ensure good care for an aged loved one.
Responsible relatives visiting a prospective nursing home
return with a glowing impression that it is the right place
for their loved one. They think, "How nice it will be for dear
Auntie (or whoever) to be with people her own age as they'll
have so much in common." A brief visit, however, does not
allow time for an objective evaluation.
Occupants of a nursing home frequently share no com
panionship whatever. Seldom do they find anything in com
mon about which to communicate. They may sit in the same
room, hallway or recreation facilities without ever discuss
ing the time of day. In fact few will even notice the person
sitting nearby.
In many cases a person walks into the nursing home, but
much too soon spends most of his time in a chair. This condi
tion often progresses to a wheelchair into which the in
dividual is later tied. When a responsible relative questions
this, the nursing home personnel reply that the patient has
suddenly become unsteady on his feet and this is being done
to prevent him from falling. However, more logically this
might have been done to relieve nursing homes from pro
viding ambulatory therapy.
A patient's personal belongings, in many nursing homes,
are often misplaced or lost. Items taken to a patient one
day, may be missing by the next day.
Food is another item of concern. For instance, grilled
cheese sandwiches are not a practical food for elderly folk.
One home (now closed) was found to be serving just that
; Generally, people believe rules and regulations set forth
by the State have corrected many of the aforementioned,
conditions. However those regulations may be either
misconstrued or taken lightly by those in charge of the nurs
ing home. Thus, the operation of a home is usually governed
only by the standards set up by its supervisors.
Granted there is not enough help in most homes, and one
nurse or aide can do only so much. But, there are several
ways through which unsatisfactory conditions may be
altered or changed. The following are suggested:
1. Visit frequently and check every phase of the nursing
home operation.
2. Drop by at meal time and take note of food being
served, v.
3. Visit in the evening. Many patients are shunted off to
bed much too early in order to give nursing home
more leisure. However, this doesn't do much for the patient
Nights which are probably too long already are lengthened.
Early evening hours spent in bed only prolongs the dreaded
nights for these lonely people.
Conditions can be made more pleasant for those living out
their sunset years in a nursing home. However, concerned
citizens must take the time and make an effort to facilitate
necessary changes.

Prescription drugs up
just 9 in 10 years
It ha been estimated
that if prescription drug
prices had increased at the :
rate of the consumer price
index since 1967, an aver
age prescription would
cost you $7.60 instead of
today's $5.20.
Tnis is just to let you
know that we, on the
health care team, are striv
ing to bring you high qual
ity drugs at a reasonable
COSL
The fact, is that the
American drug buyer, year
in year out, receives one of
the best economic "buys"
around. From 1967 to 1975
wuunpormoN
ST
run. uriunss go
the average of all con
sumer items increased due
to inflation by 6196. Food
jumped to 75, housing
was up by 67, and trans
portation 51. Yet, your
prescription drug rose in
price just 9 over the same
10-year period. And that',
