Talk:Nursing home

message: Why do I get a strong feeling the author lives in an assisted living home?
The entire 'what is a nursing home not?' wording is VERY confusing. --168.56.111.51 6 July 2005 20:22 (UTC)
I made a few changes to this page if anyone has any questions to why i did so please feel free to ask 
I feel that a lot of the info that was on there was misguided and there was at least over half the info that was incorrect or poorly written 
all my changes do have the sources to back them up so feel to check if you like. if there is any question please feel free to ask.
Thank you  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tazman1989 (talk • contribs) 01:17, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Why

message: What is the source for this information, included in the introduction to this article: "In the US, nursing homes are required to have a licensed nurse on duty 24 hours a day, and during at least one shift each day, one of those nurses must be a Registered Nurse." --Austin Matthews 20:07, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Introduction 

message: The following addition was made 05:12, December 13, 2005 by 195.92.67.65 : There is often cases of horrific abuse and human rights infrigements in these kinds of placements in which it is extremily difficult to give evidence of that abuse. Over 95% of nursing homes fall below the standard set by authortities. See elderly abuse  This was added to the introduction and the same text was inserted as a seperate section.  Is this necessary? --Austin Matthews 06:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I'd like to know more about the history of nursing homes as an industry. We do it for countries, so why not for industries as well? 68.32.48.59 (talk) 04:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: History

message: Regarding the reversal of the recent deletion of Appel's comment.  I dislike Appel as much as the next guy, but that doesn't mean that any one editor should delete his Wikipedia presence without good reason.  As long as he's being cited for the content of his columns as evidence of his views, rather than the factuality of his arguments, then he's a perfeclty legitimate source Crayvella (talk) 23:51, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The "good reason" for removing the many additions of Jacob Appel's views is lack of sourcing. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary sources, not links to Appel's blog posts. Reference Appel's views being quoted in TIME or the NYT, not just the Huffington Post. And just because someone has prolific and uberpromoted opinions does not mean he or they belong in Wikipedia.

thread_title:  About the definition for the term..... 

message: The article CHSLD is a stub, basically defining that a CHSLD is a nursing home in Québec.--UnQuébécois (talk) 21:49, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks more like WP:SPAM. There is an Afd in process. Student7 (talk) 14:20, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't agree that it's spam, but I also don't favor a redirect of CHSLD to this article. If there is anything unique about nursing homes in Québec, it could be added to this article, but I think the article CHSLD should simply be deleted, as both a definition and an unlikely search term. --MelanieN (talk) 23:35, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge CHSLD 

message: The article has become too US-Centric. I am going to split it up into 4 articles: one is the lead for this one, plus pointers to Canada, UK, and the US (esssentially). The other three will be articles called (awkwardly) Nursing Home (Canada), Nursing Home (UK), and Nursing Home (US). The latter will contain most of the article that didn't get left here. "Nursing home(s) in the United Kingdom" sounds funny. Don't know whether to use singular or plural. 
The split in the US article will allow us to deal with the new material at the top which clearly needs to be merged with the material that is already in the article. No sense in trying to include two other countries when we can't even make an organized article for one country. Student7 (talk) 17:34, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I've split the article into 4: Nursing home care, Nursing home care in Canada, Nursing home care in the United Kingdom, and Nursing home care in the United States. Care is too low down in implementation to have many similarities between countries in details. Please use country article when possible. Student7 (talk) 23:18, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Split article

message: Specifically, much has been revealed regarding chlorine and flouride being detrimental to elderly so where do I find if the nursing home has amended their water supply to remove chlorine and flouride?
Specifically, much has been revealed regarding negative ions and their benefit so where do I discover that the air is amended with negative ions?
Please note that the above is common policy in hospitals.  It should be in nursing homes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.50.151.151 (talk) 21:32, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Health support 

message: I made a few additions to the article mostly to the "nursing" section. To the nursing section I stated how many years of education the employee needed to work at the nursing home and that all employees are required to be licensed or certified by the state they work in. I felt that most of the sections all needed more information and also added an "Elderly Abuse" section stating the major abuses physical, emotional, and sexual abuse because they are a very big issue throughout the united states but yet it was not mentioned. The article seemed biased without it because it was only stating the positive about nursing homes and what they provide but nothing about the risk of putting elderly patients there. If you have any questions referring to my edit please feel free to ask.

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Perspectives in Gerontology

message: Hi, I’m going to come here before making the changes because it will be quite a bit as the word is mentioned a lot. I am considering changing the word “elderly” in the article to older people or senior citizens. The word “elderly” may potentially be insensitive to some people. Wording that recognizes people as people rather than their circumstance or condition may be more effective. Please reply to this comment if this isn’t a good idea or you have feedback, thanks.
