Implementation of the 2008 Ohio Nursing Home Family Satisfaction Survey : Final Report
Get PDFIn 2008, the Scripps Gerontology Center conducted the third bi-annual nursing home family satisfaction survey under a contract to the Ohio Department of Aging.
Refinements to the survey instrument showed continued high reliability of domain areas and the instrument as a whole. Changes in instructions to families, and a number of processes were changed this year that resulted in fewer family and facility calls requesting assistance from the toll-free hotline. Comparisons of 2006 and 2008 responses show some significant improvements statewide, with more items showing statewide averages of 90 and above.
The family satisfaction survey is one important component of the comprehensive nursing home information shown on the Ohio Long-Term Care Consumer Guide (www.ltcohio.org)
An Evaluation of the Assisted Living Medicaid Waiver Program

Living Waiver Program in 2006 represented an additional attempt by Ohio to expand the range

The Political Other in Nineteenth-Century British North America : the Satire of Thomas Chandler Haliburton
Get PDFIn the first half of the nineteenth century, British North
America was trying to find its way within the Empire and in North
America. The American democratic and republican experiment offered
the Canadian colonies an alternative that seemed both appealing and
threatening. The Nova Scotian politician, historian, and satirist T. C.
Haliburton articulated the fears of his time in a series of humorous
sketches targeting a general audience and designed to spur a collective
debate on the advantages and disadvantages of democracy. This article
explores Haliburton’s political satire in parallel with the classic interpretation
of democracy in America offered by Alexis de Tocqueville. Both authors
wrote about American democracy at about the same time and related
to the American model from without, being aware of the profound effect
the new form of government could have on their own communities
