Life Inside a Nursing Home

This article is a must read. How do you encourage doctors to go into geriatrics? Have them spend time as a resident in a nursing home. Great perspective. Any one trying to change the experience in long term care would be wise to do the same thing. In fact, it would be really courageous for caregivers to try it out when seeking care for their loved one. I have stayed in assisted living facilities overnight but not nursing homes and not for a long enough stay to really matter. Good stuff.

Our new movie deals with this exact subject matter. I would suggest readers of this article to check it out if they have a chance.

Another Harvest Moon is a sensitive drama about four elderly Americans coping with life in a nursing home. Starring: Ernest Borgnine, Anne Meara, Doris Roberts and Piper Laurie.
