Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Residents of nursing homes often have many fears and anxieties. They may worry about how their medical problems will affect their health and independence in the future. Because long-term care is expensive, they may have concerns about their finances. They worry about how the move to the nursing home will affect their family members, and they may be sad to be separated from them. If appropriate, the residents may have to develop a new social group in the nursing home; however, this is not their main concern. Many times, the residents are not able to do whatever they want to do, whenever they want to do it. They may have to adapt their usual routines to the new situation. However, this is not one of their main concerns at admission.
