How’d We Get Here? The History of Nursing Homes | Next Avenue

We are currently at a pivotal point in the nation's history of caring for the most frail and vulnerable. The way leaders respond to the horrific toll the pandemic has taken on nursing home residents will determine the future of nursing home care for years, possibly decades, to come.

This is not the first — or second — time where massive outrage has led to calls for significant change and reform in nursing homes. The problems that plague today's nursing homes are, in many ways, reminiscent and tied to their history in the United States.

Gray is Beautiful.

On my blog, I am often known for my wild and free nature, the cowboy hat, saying my thoughts on how I think the world should work. My ideas are some liberal, some conservative, there’s a mix. I am pretty much know for my maps, camping in the wilderness with Big Red, and open, rural country I love to explore.

At the same time, I have to contrast that to my much more mundane life on the weekdays as a communications professional and political coordinator. The cowboy hat and big jacked up truck is put on the rack for the suit and tie, and a ride on public transit to the big office building downtown from the suburb to the city.

As my bottom of my goatee turns increasingly gray, as do splotches of my hair, I become more and more concerned about my professional development, my retirement, my savings and my tomorrow. Not because I expect to ever become a suit and tie guy at heart, but I do like the money, especially what is saved and invested for tomorrow. I dress up and play the role, not because I love the suburban life, but because I know what it’s paying for tomorrow.

Obituary of Ronald W. Frantz | A. J. Cunningham Funeral Homes, Including.

FEURA BUSH – Ronald W. Frantz, 71, passed away on Sunday January 24, 2021. He was born on June 30, 1949 to the late Harold and Amelia Frantz. Ron graduated from SUNY New Paltz. Ron taught Social Studies/ History for many years at Greenville High School. While there, he also coached baseball and held a leadership role in the Greenville Faculty Association. Ron also worked at New York State United Teachers (NYSUT) as a Legislative Representative for several years. After retirement, Ron enjoyed spending part of his year in Tucson, Arizona, and made many new friends there. He loved to travel and visited all 50 states, as well as over 40 different countries. If you asked him, he would tell you in detail about his time in each one!

I am deeply saddened to hear of passing of Mr. Frantz. He made history and social studies fascinating -- bringing it back home to our own lives. He also helped us understand the importance of state and local government. Thanks to the many lessons I learned in his class, I decided to study Political Science in college, and made my career doing communications for the state legislature and coordinating political campaigns. Mr. Frantz will be missed by generations of Greenville Central graduates.

How to tackle the monsters holding you back from being a good leader

How to tackle the monsters holding you back from being a good leader

It’s true that no two people are alike, at a superficial level, that is. Our stories and experiences will always be unique. However, what firmly connects us is that we carry the same collection of core fears. These seven fears lie at the root of our pain stories and are essentially false beliefs—or illusions—about ourselves, others, and the world:

    Fear of unpredictability: “If I get more information then I will be safe.”
    Fear of rejection: “If others accept me then I will belong.”
    Fear of being unworthy: “If I prove myself to others, I am enough.”
    Fear of being insignificant: “If others can see and hear me then I exist.”
    Fear of failure: “If I follow the right path and avoid mistakes then I am better.”
    Fear of trusting others: “If I control others then I will survive.”
    Fear of being incapable: “If I have more resources then I will succeed.”
