¶ … Care Case Study
Slide 1 Footnotes
There have been enormous changes due to introduction of various cultural elements in the continuum of care. Before, when people were admitted to assisted living facilities or hospital settings, there were very little cultural elements outside of the majority culture which had sponsored the facility. For example, if a facility was associated with some sort of church or temple, there were elements of that religion present, but there was little alternatives for members of other cultures or religions.
Yet, today, there are now a much wider array of cultural elements available in assisted living homes and hospital facilities. Assisted living programs are regulated on the level of the state.
As such, different states have different types of programs and policies that impact the degree to which cultural characteristics are included or excluded within various assisted living facilities. Some programs encourage cultural elements of patients to be brought into the assisted living environment and have administrative bodies work to generate programs and offerings that appeal to certain cultures. In such cases, administrators work from the top down to provide various cultural or religious services to their residents, who can opt to participate or not to participate.
In other cases, it is left to the patients themselves to bring in their own cultural elements into their assisted living facilities. This was the case of Ruby and Irving, who were instrumental in their assisted living facility offering Jewish activities and religious rites, even though the population of Jewish patients in their specific facility was relatively low.
The majority culture is also changing the way it views these types of living situations. Before, assisted living homes were seen as drab and a dreary place to live by many outside of them. Today, the culture is embracing new ideas about assisted living because of changes in the design and philosophies of many of the facilities available today. For example, many facilities are now taking on a more resort-like feeling. This gives their residents a much higher quality of life,...

The light is bright and clear and it seems to have no specific direction.
