Does Arizona Need "The Guardian" Blog?

Posted on February 27, 2009 by Martin Solomon

You be the judge.

There are far too many families who are cast into the world of long term care without a lifeline or even a compass.

In my experience, there are no primers on what families can expect when a loved one is in long term care. Nor are there any guides to enable families to protect their loved ones from nursing home neglect or abuse.

This blog is for them.

There are also far too many nurses and nursing aides, working in long term care, who are victims of corporate financial decisions that make it impossible for them to provide quality care.

These health care professionals often have limited access to vital information thus preventing them from providing optimal patient care.  There are also few opportunities for these caregivers to engage in candid dialog with other professionals in a non-threatening environment.

This blog is for them.

Our Next Article.

Our next article will discuss the risks to patients in nursing homes and the principal causes of those risks.

The “Guardian Blog” will provide information to help both families and professionals assess and improve the quality of nursing home care in Arizona and the Guardian Blog will encourage dialog with and among its readers.
