Family Perceptions of Care in a Nursing Home
Abstract
To study family perceptions of nursing home care 28 relatives of residents were interviewed about their involvement in the care of elderly relatives and about their perceptions of care provided by the nursing home staff. Findings indicated that relatives attributed responsibility for most tasks to nursing home staff but held themselves responsible for monitoring and evaluating quality of care, teaching staff to deliver high quality care, and providing direct care intended to preserve the residents 'self'.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
