Abstract
Elderly residents of nursing homes have many of the same needs as new members of any organization: to be oriented, to form a new support base, to establish a new role definition, and redefine previous roles. Resident families undergo related changes which must be addressed if a satisfactory adjustment is to be effected. Techniques to facilitate these changes and barriers to their implementation are discussed.Keywords
