    lesson content

    As a home care aide, you will not be the one making the decision to move to a long-term care facility; however, the family may ask for your opinion since you may spend more time with the client. 
    ::作为家庭护理助理,您不会决定搬入长期护理机构;然而,家庭可以征求您的意见,因为您可以多花些时间与客户相处。

    One of the advantages of caring for the client at home is that they are in a familiar setting. As we get older, change is difficult. Another advantage is that they are near their family and benefit from social interaction. Family members may feel guilty about moving the client to a facility and staying in the home relieves that guilt.
    ::在家照顾客户的好处之一是他们处于熟悉的环境中。随着我们老了,改变是困难的。另一个好处是他们离家近,从社会互动中受益。家庭成员可能会对将客户转移到一个设施里和留在家里感到内疚,这减轻了他们的罪恶感。

    Moving the client to a long-term care facility also has some benefits. A residential facility provides 24-hour supervision and nursing care, recreational activities, socialization, and most importantly relieves the stress on the family.
    ::将病人转移到长期护理设施也有一些福利,寄宿设施提供24小时监督和护理、娱乐活动、社会化,最重要的是减轻家庭的压力。

    Whether the client remains in the home or moves to a long-term care facility, the cost may be a factor. Safety is another factor to consider and the client may need more services, care, and supervision than what is provided in the home. These are some of the things the family will need to consider.
    ::无论客户是否留在家中或转移到长期护理设施,费用可能是一个因素,安全是另一个需要考虑的因素,客户可能需要的服务、护理和监督可能多于家中提供的服务、护理和监督,这是家庭需要考虑的一些事情。
