No Harm Done: Nursing Homes and Related Scenarios 1998–2002 a Case History

By Leah Palm

The following scenarios are presented as though seen through my mothers eyes. She lived in two different nursing homes over a four-year period.

The first purpose of these scenarios is to share experiences with which I had to work for the benefit and protection of my mother.

The second purpose is to offer options, other than suing, to resolve anger and pain that others cause you through careless and thoughtless words and deeds.

The third purpose is to let you know, that these are RNs, LVNs, and aides in nursing homes who care greatly about their residents.

The fourth purpose is to stimulate your thinking about optional plans with which you can live out your life, other than in a nursing home. This is as important as spiritual, pre-need, and financial planning.

Finally, the last purpose is to suggest that no one person can meet all the physical, psychological, social, leisure, and requirements for another human being.

The author, Larrabee, is a seventy-seven-year-old novice writer. She was born in Everett, Massachusetts, on April 23, 1938. She is currently wheelchair-bound because of Parkinson’s. She paints paint-by-number scenes to pass the time, and it adds pleasure to each day. Then one day, after perusing through her thoughts for several years, she decided to create a written and illustrated coloring book for adults. The book was to develop from older people’s remembrances. Larrabee grew up as an army brat. She also spent twenty-two years in the US Army, Army Medical Specialist Corps, from 1965 to 1987. During those years, she worked as an occupational therapist. You will note a smattering of the military influence on some of the stories and illustrations. While in the military, she published two articles, one in the Military Medicine Journal amd one in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. These were “Report of a Survey on the Role of Occupational Therapy Personnel in the Event of Mobilization” and “Dynamic Splinting for Dorsal Burns of the Hand.” Please enjoy reading and coloring these remembrances collected from several people.
