We all know that growing old is a natural part of life and unfortunately for some people they can no longer take care of themselves. It is sometimes possible for family members to care for their elderly parents or relatives, but not always or in every case. This is when find ourselves needing to find a good quality nursing home as an option for our parents, elderly relatives or elderly friends.

Making the decision to move into a nursing home doesn’t have to be depressing by any means in fact nursing homes can provide a happier and better quality of life. You must try to think of it as an opportunity for your relatives to get the best care available, by certified nurses with dedicated time to give the best care, which is not always possible for family members to do. It is also a chance for your relatives to meet new friends, participate in activities and live a more active lifestyle.

When you start looking at nursing homes you will soon realise that not all homes provide the same services and level of care. Before choosing the nursing home for your loved one you consider the following.

Location and Costs

One of the most important things when choosing a nursing home is the location. Choosing a good quality home which is nearby will allow you to spend more time with your loved ones. Having a convenient location also allows you to be more involved in their medical care as possible and making your loved one feel reassured and comfortable with their new home. The next thing you’ll want to look at is cost. All nursing homes are different when it comes to cost, depending on the care needed for the individual and room type. Ask yourself, Does the care home you’re considering fit within you budget constraints.

The Staff and Care Workers

After selecting a few certified nursing homes to choose from, the next thing to do is to find out the competence of actual staff as this is just as important, if not more so. After all these are the people who will be providing your loved one’s care. Staff should always be certified as well. It is also a good idea to make sure that there are enough staff that are thoroughly trained in emergency care, critical care and elder care.

Take the time to inspect the homes which you are considering and try to evaluate for yourself how the staff treat the patients, look out for things such as, politeness, manners, patience, ones empathy, compassionate nature.

Inspections Records

Before you make a final decision on choosing a nursing home, do some homework in regards to how the nursing home did on past health and safety inspections, look for if they have any recent violations. Check the “Care Quality Commission” reports. When you take a look around the home for yourself check for important safety features like smoke alarms and that they are in every room, hand rails everywhere, specially fitted toilets for disabled.

Living Environment

No one wants to live in a depressing place that looks and feels dreary. Look for nursing homes that feature plenty of fun activities and entertainment options to keep patients busy and productive. Cheerful, positive staff members that will fill your loved one’s days with joy are also a must.

Have a look around and see what the people living there think?

Find out what the people living there think of their home. Try to talk to some of the patients already living at the home which your considering. Ask them if they like it there and are happy with the way they’re treated. If they are not happy then the chances are your loved one won’t be happy either. Visiting the home unannounced and at different times is a good idea, this is an effective way to review the quality of the care outside of visitor hours.

How To Sell To A Women Versus A Man

by

Alexandra Davies

Women and shoes is something that we all know go hand in hand. Nearly every female I know loves her shoes and loves shopping for new ones. Men on the other hand, do not have the same obvious love of shoes, or so we think. As a matter of fact, men are nearly as concerned with the way they look as the ladies, but the just have a different way of showing it. A woman will walk into a store, look around, try some shoes on and end up purchasing if her gut feeling tells her to do it. A male on the other hand uses a very different mindset when shopping for shoes. Most men would walk into the store, look for a pair that he likes, he might try them on, and if he likes them he will buy them.

The biggest difference is the thought process that goes into it. When women shop they usually browse. What this means is that they will try on several pairs and even if they find four or five that they like, they might not buy any, due to the fact that they think there might be something better somewhere else. Shopping for women is like a hobby. They go shopping, just to browse, but not necessarily to buy anything. When men go shopping they go to buy stuff. They do not want to mess around. They go to the shop, find a pair of shoes that they like and buy them, plain and simple.

The reason behind this is that females shop with the right side of their brain. The right side is the artist, the creator and free-thinker. The left side of the brain loves thinking outside the box. The questions they ask themselves whilst shopping is: What dresses do I have that will go with these shoes? In what social gatherings can I use them. How ill these shoes make me feel? All the questions they ask themselves come from the right brain and are all based around what they feel about the shoe and how the shoe will make them feel .

This is the complete opposite to most men, who will shop with their left brain. The right brain is the accountant, the analytical person that likes facts and stuff that works. They like to think inside the box. Common questions a man will ask himself, and typically is this order, whilst shopping for shoes are: Do I like the shoes? Will I wear them? Are they comfortable? How much do they cost? Can you see how a man has a much more analytical approach to the way he shops? There are no how will these shoes make me feel questions. It is all about the facts.

All of us sell something every day. Whether you are a car salesman, chiropractor or an accountant, it does not matter. Every day of our life we are in a situation that requires us to sell either a product or ourselves. So, what you can learn from this? Well, first of all your approach when selling to a woman should be very different to how you approach a man. Say for arguments sake that you are selling shoes, your focus when selling to a female should be telling her how look she looks in those shoes and how versatile the shoes are. When selling to a man on the other hand, all you have to do is first of all make sure he likes the shoes, then tell him they will go both with suit pants and jeans (if they do of course). Then tell him how comfortable they are and give him the price. That is all the information he needs and he will make his judgement based on that.

The bottom line is that it is always good to try and get inside the brain of the person you are selling to. So the next time you are selling to a woman, get inside her right brain, and for a man, his left brain. By doing simple task you will find that you sales will sky rocket.
