When you put a person in a nursing home, either because they are ill or can no longer take care of themselves, it can cause many effects on that persons well being. They are able to get the medicine they need and are around people they can relate too. Nursing homes consist of educated nurses whom are specialized in the needs and responsibilities that come with senior citizens. Theses nurses are to provide round the clock care due to the fact that the patients constantly need care. Usually the people that go to nursing homes live by themselves and have a hard time doing the things that are necessities or are disabled. Hospitals constantly have patients going in and out daily; by having the help of nursing homes, the hospitals do not have to keep elderly patients in occupied rooms, nor send away patients that need assistance and cannot provide it personally. These homes also play a big role in the lives of C.N.A’s and R.N.’s because it provides more jobs to the people pursuing the medical field across the nation. In conclusion, because nursing homes are available to elderly people they are a big help to hospitals.
