While one account was given by a Certified Nurse assistant (CNA), the other was given by a committed volunteer. They both identified \"Compassion\" as the relevant requirement for elder care giving.   They state boldly that nursing homes have not done enough to avoid emotional and psychological distress in elderly residents. Other problems identified in today's healthcare system are inadequate staffing and lack of emotional bonding with the elderly.  The failure to genuinely \"show compassion\" and\/or to \"empathize with\" can cause additional medical problems for the elderly. Examples were given of the lack of proper hydration, leading to dehydration.  They point to clear signs that caregivers are failing to meet the level of care owed to elderly patients.  \u003cbr\u003e\"Compassion Centered Care: Caring Effectively and Therapeutically for the Elderly\" is designed for all direct care givers to include physicians, nurses, social workers, therapist, volunteers and CNAs.
