It is a change in the right step, but however, I agree with Patti that I dont see it happening any time soon. Definatelly an increase in staff is going to be needed when the residents are awake.

More individualized attention is going to be required. That, or have an increase in activity staff on all the shifts that residents are awake. Right now I don't see it happening anytime soon. The current economic situations cannot fund such dreams sadly. One day, maybe, it will happen. Ratios will be critical to make a nursing home truly homelike.

But I must agree, we have to work on the ratio of caregiver to resident to realy make this work. Hopefully as the boomers age, continued light will be brought to this topic.

My concern is the need for increased staff to allow this to take place. Most states have a suggested ratio needed per caregiver and resident, which is below the needed limit for this to be successful. However, whatever small steps we can take towards resident centered care is past due. A wonderful step. My concern is the need for increased staff to allow this to take place.
