| dc.description | Coping with a Resident who Wants to go Home Discontentment among residents is seen as one of the most difficult situations facing a staff member. Essentially, they bear the brunt of the resident's discontent in a situation which is not of their making. Some homes deal with this problem by not accepting on a long-term basis, any resident who does not wish to stay. For this reason, in some homes, residents are accepted initially on a trial basis, and if this does not work to the satisfaction of both parties, then the resident is not accepted on a permanent basis. Some staff say that the residents are free to leave if the family are willing to take them. This is the nub of the problem as far as the staff are concerned. They must find a way of dealing with the resident who wants to go home, when their relatives are unable or unwilling to have him or her at home. | en_GB |
