Many of them have great experiences and provide star service in nursing homes, and reach the residents' satisfaction by using standard precautions and applying the CNAs skills properly. However, most of them lack the skills and use them improperly. They need some help, not only regarding skills, but also regarding handling nosocomial infections and raising customer satisfaction This book also aims toward an ambitious objective, which is being a primary source of research for those who are interested in nursing homes in the United States. Nursing homes exist everywhere in the world, but we find that the level of function here is different. Therefore, this book is going to describe life inside the nursing homes in this country. It's a mixture of micro-socio-pathological descriptions that can resuscitate a desire to better understand this reality, which has remained so long unknown, and that needs to be unveiled.
