Commonwealth Fund Survey of Nursing Homes
[Staff Reporters]
The “medical culture change” movement is working to radically transform nursing home care, and help facilities transition from institutions to home.
Survey Highlights
The following highlights just a few of the findings from the Commonwealth Fund 2007 National Survey of Nursing Homes report, released in May 2008:.
- Fifty-eight percent of culture change adopters allow residents to determine their own schedules, compared with only 22 percent of traditional nursing homes.
- Nearly two-thirds (64%) of culture change adopters implement bathing practices that are more resident-centered, while only 37 percent of traditional nursing homes do so.
- Seven of 10 culture change adopters reported that residents are involved in decisions about their facility, but only one-quarter of traditional nursing homes (27%) involve residents in such decisions.

In any case, early planning is the key to supporting both your kids’ futures and your retirement. Making logical college funding decisions, rather than emotional ones, creates a win/win for everyone.
