Approximately 15,000 nursing homes\/rehabilitation facilities now exist across the nation. An elder citizen has a one-in-four chance of spending at least some time in one of these facilities. Furthermore, anyone over twenty-one years old may find themselves in one when needing short-term rehabilitation after a serious medical occurrence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNursing homes represent billions of dollars in potential profits reimbursed by government and insurance programs, a fact that has attracted individual owners and investor-backed corporations eager for financial gain. This drive for earnings often leads to shorthanded and poorly trained staff, which negatively impacts patient care. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile many declare the nursing home system broken, the author believes it needs to be overhauled shifting the focus to quality of care rather than profit. To effect this change, government and insurance agencies need to restructure nursing facility reimbursement policies to develop a comprehensive system of quality long-term care services-a process that should begin as soon as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e An insightful examination of the limitations of the current nursing-home environment, \u003ci\u003eNursing Homes to Rehabilitation Centers: What Every Person Needs to Know\u003c\/i\u003e provides the information you need to become an informed health-care consumer-for yourself and for your aging family members.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phyllis Ayman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1974131696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781974131693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.78d","brand":"Phyllis Ayman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46094182154495,"sku":"9781974131693","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08abde42-328f-46e4-9eab-2bd5f3e5d8b8.jpg?v=1724843922","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nursing-homes-to-rehabilitation-centers-phyllis-ayman-9781974131693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
