Nursing homes

with Nursing. Nursing is a dynamic field that requires many methods of writing in order to communicate vital patient information.

They had built the village to correct or see a new perspective of how nursing homes would look like, especially for patients with dementia. Putting an elderly to this type of village encourages them to live as normal and safe in their remaining days. Hogewey has caught the attention of health care professionals in other countries and built their own dementia village. In Canada they built the Georgian Bay Retirement Home.…

the classic evening ritual, “good night John Boy”, “good night ma, pa”, always ending with good night to grandparents, whom also reside in the home. This was an era where family took care of family.
