Transport
I and another member of our group performed our first "official" correct transport of a student. It was nice that we both knew what we were doing and it made the transition to the MIRR easier. We used the under the arm lift and move forward. This was a bit uncomfortable. I think it was because the child was taller. After getting the child to the MIRR, the other adult and I were debriefing and we said that next time we think we'd try the elbow lift with our arms around the child's back. It was much easier to get the child down the hall and less disruptive as well. We also found out that trying to ask the child if he wanted to walk on his own only made him angier. It was just making him cry louder to be left alone and once we stopped talking to him, he continued to cry, but wasn't yelling and screaming like before. I was glad we have had the opportunity to try this out.

Nursing homes provide around the clock care and long-term medical treatment. Most nursing homes have services and staff to address issues such as nutrition, care planning, recreation, spirituality and medical care. Knowledge is needed about how quality of life is affected in the nursing-home setting in order to be able to provide the best possible care.
The aim of this study was to investigate the personal experience of living in a nursing home over time from the perspective of the person with dementia and to learn what makes life better or worse in the nursing home. It may be helpful to have a clear definition of what Dementia Care Homes means.
