  • Age Restricted Active Adult Housing in Massachusetts a Review of the Factors Fueling Its Explosive Growth and the Public Policy Issues It Raises
    Age Restricted Active Adult Housing in Massachusetts A Review of the Factors Fueling Its Explosive Growth and the Public Policy Issues It Raises Citizens’ Housing and Planning Association June 2005 1 Acknowledgements Research and Principal Author Bonnie Heudorfer Research Assistant Dana LeWinter Project Director Aaron Gornstein Editorial Assistance Karen Wiener, Connie Kruger Valuable market information and insights for this study were provided by many in the real estate, development, financial, and legal communities who willingly shared their knowledge and experience. Special thanks to the local officials, regional planning agencies and real estate professionals who identified and verified projects and bylaws and to the legal staff at the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, HUD’s New England Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, DHCD and MassHousing. The Pioneer Institute generously shared with CHAPA data it had collected on local zoning bylaws. Representatives of various trade organizations were also very helpful. In particular, the National Association of Home Builders provided information from a national perspective. Realtors, developers, and seniors – including some who purchased in age restricted communities and others who considered the option but chose not to – provided an important reality check. CHAPA’s 40B Sub-Committee also assisted in framing the issues unique to that program. Please Note While every effort has been made to provide the most current and accurate information possible, the author and sponsoring organization acknowledge that the data on local bylaws is a work in progress. Not all communities provided information, and the status of some regulations is in flux. Municipalities are urged to notify CHAPA at www.CHAPA.org or the author at [email protected] with corrections, additions or updates.

  • Nursing Home Resident's Rights
    Your Rights and Protections as a Nursing Home Resident What are my rights in a nursing home? As a nursing home resident, you have certain rights and protections under Federal and state law that help ensure you get the care and services you need. You have the right to be informed, make your own decisions, and have your personal information kept private. The nursing home must tell you about these rights and explain them in writing in a language you understand. They must also explain in writing how you should act and what you’re responsible for while you’re in the nursing home. This must be done before or at the time you’re admitted, as well as during your stay. You must acknowledge in writing that you got this information. At a minimum, Federal law specifies that nursing homes must protect and promote the following rights of each resident. You have the right to: Be Treated with Respect: You have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, as well as make your own schedule and participate in the activities you choose. You have the right to decide when you go to bed, rise in the morning, and eat your meals. Participate in Activities: You have the right to participate in an activities program designed to meet your needs and the needs of the other residents. Be Free from Discrimination: Nursing homes don’t have to accept all applicants, but they must comply with Civil Rights laws that say they can’t discriminate based on race, color, national origin, disability, age, or religion.

  • What Factors Predict Falls in Older Adults Living in Nursing Homes: a Pilot Study
    Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology Article What Factors Predict Falls in Older Adults Living in Nursing Homes: A Pilot Study Aditi Datta 1,*, Rahul Datta 2,* and Jeananne Elkins 1 1 College of Professional Studies, Northeastern University, Boston, MA 02115, USA; [email protected] 2 Mendel University In Brno. Zemˇedˇelská 1665/1, 613 00 Brno, Czech Republic * Correspondence: [email protected] (A.D.); [email protected] (R.D.); Tel.: +1-817-733-6708 (A.D.); +420-773990283 (R.D.) Received: 23 October 2018; Accepted: 20 December 2018; Published: 25 December 2018 Abstract: Background: In community-dwelling older adults, slow gait speed is linked to falls; however, little is known about the use of gait speed to predict falls in nursing home residents. The prevalence of risk factors for falls in nursing home residents is multifactorial. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between falls and multiple factors such as age, sex, gait speed, mobility device, fear of falling, cognitive function, medication, and environmental causes in a nursing home setting. Material and Methods: Participants were recruited from a nursing home. Independent variables such as age, sex, gait speed for 40 feet, use of a mobility device, fear of falls, cognitive function, medication, and environmental causes of falls were measured and recorded. The dependent variable was falls. Participants were followed-up for a period of six months for falls. Falls were documented from the computerized medical records at the facility. Results: Five of the 16 participants had falls in the follow-up period. Exact logistic regression, bivariate analysis, showed no significant relationship between falls and the independent variables of age, sex, gait speed, mobility device, fear of falls, cognitive function, and medication.

    A quarterly highlight of the donor hospitals within LifeNet Health’s service area December 2011 March 2010 o 2011 Virginia Transplant Games o Paired Kidney Donation o A Life Shared and A Life Saved o Hospital Performance Report o Chain Reaction: Impact Donation Collaborative o Celebrating 100 Million Registered Donors o Who’s Who in LifeNet Health Donor Hospitals 68-40-035.06 Saturday, October 1, 2011 was a crisp, cool fall day in Richmond – the perfect setting for the first ever Virginia Transplant Games held at Clover Hill High School. The opening ceremonies didn’t leave a dry eye in the stadium as donor families, recipients, family, and friends stood together to celebrate life. The games were established for two reasons: to illustrate how organ, eye, tissue and bone marrow donation and transplantation works; allowing recipients of these precious gifts to live, full, healthy, and more active lives than they ever imagined; and to reinforce how these gifts are generously given by Virginia citizens who can designate their decision to donate on the Virginia donor registry, www.DonateLifeVirginia.org. Attending the event was an emotional experience for everyone – including donor families, organ recipients, and supportive friends and family. Knowing that so many people in attendance had either experienced the loss of a loved one who had donated life-saving tissue and organs, or had been a recipient of another person’s selfless giving and generosity, was overwhelming. Let the Games Begin! The opening ceremonies began with the Color Guard and National Anthem which was a stirring rendition by Reverend David K.

(“PWHS”), having entered into a merger agreement, which if consummated would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18, and it appearing to the Commission that a proceeding by it in respect thereof would be in the public interest, hereby issues its complaint pursuant to Section 11(b) of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 21(b), stating its charges as follows: NATURE OF THE CASE 1. The merger of Inova and PWHS (“the Merger”) will reduce vital competition and result in higher prices and reduced non-price competition for general, acute care inpatient hospital services in Northern Virginia. Although health plans are the direct customers of Respondents, higher prices for hospital services are passed on to employers, unions, and other group purchasers of health insurance plans and - ultimately - are borne by the individuals and families residing in Northern Virginia. 1 2. Both Inova and PWHS provide high quality general, acute care inpatient hospital services to health care consumers in Northern Virginia.1 Inova already is the dominant hospital system in Northern Virginia.
