Abstract
Nursing home staff often fail to recognize and deal with the disruption and distress that takes place within a family when a member is institutionalized. The disruption of family relationships and the change in physical environment represent a family crisis that engenders a great sense of loss and grief. This paper discusses institutional planning and interventive strategies that help to expedite and facilitate this process of change in the most comfortable manner possible.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
