Essay 3
With so many social issues going on in today world i am having a hard time making a decision on what to write about but for them most part I'm think about writing about elderly abuse in nursing home and in private care facilities. although there are already many laws to help prevent this , they are not enough they are only prevent measures. what happeneds to the people commiting these "crimes" ? how are the families dealing with these issues. many of the residents in nursing homes and private care facilities are WAR VETS!! people mistreating the elderly who faught for our country in a time when healthcare was at is worst and they surivived that and now have to deal with a younger generation coming in and stealing from them neglecting them. some of the ways i think that that this could be stoped is by doing more extensive background checks on the people who are taking care of them get nanny cameras to help better convict and monitor. there are so many issues with the elderly you can not just go hiring some person off the street to take care of your family!!!

What is the Problem?
-Nursing home abuse
Offer a solution?
-yes, better background checks, Hidden cameras.
Point of view on solutions?
- i think a background check could benefit, would you want a felon taking care of your family? i wouldnt, and i think cameras are even better. that way you know for sure whats going on. good topic.
I think this will be a great topic. i worked with Hospice for six years and only a few where in nursing homes. there is alot that people can do to help. i think the background checks are a good idea but sometimes that is not enough. and to say a felon is not capable of taking good care of a person well there are some people who are not felon and i wouldnt trust them to take care of my dog. i think that checking all angles would be a great idea.
I think you have a good idea you found a problem and have solution to solve it.
Your topic is one that would spark my interest. I work in a hospital for the sole reason of not wanting to become burnt out. It is my opinion that many nursing home employees get tired of their jobs and often start to slack off. I avoided the nursing home business for that very reason. I love the elderly and I don't want to be the one degrading them. It's hard to find good workers for nursing homes. All in all I think the idea for stopping the abuse is a good idea, but I also think you might look into ways to lighten up the atmosphere if you need anything to expand on.
