I am working on article on how nursing homes respond when a resident die in a nursing home. Such as is it common to have memorial services, what do different nursing homes do, are residents that are able provided transportation to attend funerals, how are residents notified of someone’s passing, etc? Any information you could give me on what your nursing home policy would be so helpful. thank you.
