The Meaning of Home

Is it possible to make a nursing home feel like a true home?



We at the Institute for Caregiver Education know that it is possible.

Ask yourself the following:

What makes your house a "home"?
  • It is filled with your things
  • It is warm and comfortable
  • Your home is as far from a hospital-style setting as is possible
  • You can be yourself, and if that means wearing your robe until lunchtime, then so be it!
  • Your home has your thumb print on it.
We can help your organization create home for your elders. Just call us, (717-263-7766) and we'll start the Person-Centered Care conversation with you.
