planning is essential. A lot of the
better facilities have long waiting
lists. "I waited for two years to get
my mother into the Jewish Home
for the Aged," says Miriam
Sandweiss. "She would revert to
speaking Yiddish, without realiz-
ing she was doing so. I wanted her
to be somewhere she would be un-
derstood and comfortable."
Finding homes which provide
kosher meals, or facilitate reli-
gious observance, can also be im-
possible without. pre-planning.
Moreover, it is important to
"make the first placement the
right one," says Alan Winer, ad-
ministrator of the Bloomfield
Hills Care Center. The first few
weeks can be crucial to successful
rehabilitation and change can be
unsettling, sometimes danger-
ously damaging.
It is a misconception, says
Winer, that nursing home place-
ment is always a final step and a
last resort. Many patients enter
by choice and many are rehabili-
tated sufficiently to return home.
It is also a mistake, he says, to
believe that no quality care exists.
Proper placement is easier to
make if the decision is not made

hurriedly and under stress.
Check out several facilities, he
recommends, and don't settle for
substandard care. But be realis-
tic, he warns. A $40 a day nursing
home cannot and is not intended
to provide the services of a $400 a
day hospital.
Feelings of guilt and inade-
quacy make nursing home visit-
ing very difficult for some rela-
tives. "You have to remember,"
advises Miriam Sandweiss, "that
however hard it is for you, it's
harder for them. You must visit.
They need your advocacy and
support." Short, frequent visits
can be more valuable and less tax-
ing for .both patient and visitor
than one long one.
Volunteer work within the
nursing home can give a sense of
joint involvement as well as the
opportunity to stop in frequently
and maintain an easier, more
natural contact. Sharing a favo-
rite recreational activity can also
lessen the awkwardness of the
traditional bedside. visit. And re-
miniscing, reliving happy, shared
experiences, is not only one of the
most effortless ways of making
conversation, but, say psychol-
ogists, one of the most therapeutic
and rewarding activities for the
elderly.
Society today, says the Home
for Aged's Charles Wolfe, tends to
measure a person's worth by his
productivity. Tried in this bal-
ance, many old people feel a
deadening lack of self-esteem.
The most powerful antidote to this
poisoriing sense of uselessness is
family love, frequently communi-
cated and clearly shown in con-
tinued care.
Showing it is not always easy.
In fact it is often extremely dif-
ficult. But perseverance can bring
its own rewards, as Marlene
Yamron attests.
"Some good things came out of
our experience. We all learned a
lot, especially the kids. They
learned compassion," she says,
turning to her husband for cor-
roboration. "I'm not afraid of how
they will treat us when we get
older." ❑
