4. Being the family member of someone in a nursing home is part of a difficult and painful process that
begins long before a loved one enters the home. Focusing on the psychological, emotional, and
social aspects of that process, Nursing Homes: The Family's Journey gives family members
important practical advice and emotional support, and it explains the intricacies of care and nursing
homes.
Peter S. Silin approaches his subject with compassion and sensitivity, guiding readers through the
entire process. Section one helps caregivers cope with difficult decisions and deal with the emotional
issues that arise. Section two describes nursing homes and how they work, and it outlines how to
choose a home. Section three explains how to prepare for the day a relative moves into a nursing
home and suggests ways to help the resident settle in. The fourth section focuses on the family
member's role in solving problems, obtaining quality care, and visiting, and it offers advice about how
to deal with death and dying. After each chapter are real-life vignettes written by caregivers which
help validate and support the reader.
In assisting their loved ones through the transition to life in a nursing home, one of the greatest
obstacles families face is a dearth of practical information and sympathetic experience. This book will
help fill the gap for family members and their infirm relatives, as well as for social workers and family
therapists. It will also be a valuable tool for nursing home administrators and care staff.
