Individuals performed low-level jobs (that is, jobs with low prestige, low salaries, and a narrow range of required skills and duties), on the other hand, are generally not satisfied with their jobs and would welcome an increased range of responsibilities. Thus the concept of an universal healthcare worker is especially relevant in a medical context in which a very high degree of the care is provided by personnel who are neither doctors or nurses. Such a locale that is ideal for the insertion of a universal healthcare worker is a long-term care facility.
Increasing the job satisfaction of workers in long-term care facilities is especially important because such facilities experience very high turnover rates. This is expensive for the institution, stressful on the workers, and traumatic for the patients.
While some assisted living facilities still operate within this model the industry as a whole is moving toward a more "holistic" approach to care in which the "universal worker" attends to all the daily living needs of their residents: assistance with ADLs, meal service, light housekeeping, laundry, programming, etc. Rather than dealing with four or five different people to have their needs met, residents are able to relate to one or two staff members who actually know them and are familiar with their needs, their routines, their likes and dislikes. The result is care that is more personal, customized and consistent.
The "universal worker" approach also seems to enhance job satisfaction. In Manor HealthCare's Arden Courts: Alzheimer's Assisted Living facilities, we've had feedback from staff who tell us that they enjoy the feeling of being responsible for the resident "as a whole" rather than for only one aspect of their care. It is a feeling that undoubtedly enhances the caregiver's sense of "job importance." Whether this greater job satisfaction leads to reduced turnover remains to be seen. (Widdes, 1996)

Essentially, the power was held by the individual, and the individual was lacking of all incentives to make his understanding more universal. Bacon sees this as a major obstacle to widespread progress and sees development of easily understandable tables, graphs, and illustrations necessary to the proper sharing of scientific knowledge. He writes: But natural and experimental history is so varied and diffuse, that it confounds and distracts the understanding unless it
C&C Grocery C&C C & C. Grocery Do you think that the proposed reorganization will work in addressing the four problem areas identified in the case? Why will it or why won't it work? The proposed solution is as follows: the consultants for C&C Grocery Stores, Inc. intend to unify the control over the store under a single district manager.

4. The paper is very well presented but simply needs grammar and stylistic corrections. The author obviously has a good grasp of the topic and organized his or her ideas. By cleaning up bad grammar in phrases like "they are a minimum of opinions," this could be a good paper. The use of first person is fine, but the author might have improved that by including anecdotes instead of just
