Book excerpt: Is your loved one really getting the best care possible in the nursing home? Are you sure? Do you want to be? Author Stacia Girard didn't take anything for granted when it was time to move her mother into a care facility. Through her unceasing demands for better care and respect, she made sure that her mother got the care she deserved. Here, she shares her story-and her secrets-for getting your loved ones the best care possible. When it comes to nursing care, "expensive" does not always equal "good." No nursing home is perfect, but you can help by simply being present in your family member's life and active in their care. By getting-and staying-involved, you are the key to great care on any budget. You can increase the quality of care for your loved one through diligence and diplomacy-or if that fails, Stacia shares her advice on how you can take more forceful action. Stacia spent twenty years "on the inside" at her mother's care facility, as an employee and family member. Stacia tells the story of her mother, who suffered dementia-what she went through and what it took to get her the care she needed. Her mother got the best care available at an average nursing home, because her daughter cared enough to demand it. If you are in charge of your loved one's care, this is a responsibility you share-conscientious care starts with you!

Download or read book The Paradox of Southern Progressivism 1880 1930 written by William A. Link and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the cultural conflicts between social reformers and southern communities, William Link presents an important reinterpretation of the origins and impact of progressivism in the South. He shows that a fundamental clash of values divided reformers and rural southerners, ultimately blocking the reforms. His book, based on extensive archival research, adds a new dimension to the study of American reform movements. The new group of social reformers that emerged near the end of the nineteenth century believed that the South, an underdeveloped and politically fragile region, was in the midst of a social crisis. They recognized the environmental causes of social problems and pushed for interventionist solutions. As a consensus grew about southern social problems in the early 1900s, reformers adopted new methods to win the support of reluctant or indifferent southerners. By the beginning of World War I, their public crusades on prohibition, health, schools, woman suffrage, and child labor had led to some new social policies and the beginnings of a bureaucratic structure. By the late 1920s, however, social reform and southern progressivism remained largely frustrated. Link's analysis of the response of rural southern communities to reform efforts establishes a new social context for southern progressivism. He argues that the movement failed because a cultural chasm divided the reformers and the communities they sought to transform. Reformers were paternalistic. They believed that the new policies should properly be administered from above, and they were not hesitant to impose their own solutions. They also viewed different cultures and races as inferior. Rural southerners saw their communities and customs quite differently. For most, local control and personal liberty were watchwords. They had long deflected attempts of southern outsiders to control their affairs, and they opposed the paternalistic reforms of the Progressive Era with equal determination. Throughout the 1920s they made effective implementation of policy changes difficult if not impossible. In a small-scale war, rural folk forced the reformers to confront the integrity of the communities they sought to change.
