The Treasure Chest Campaign In Long Term Care: Elders Are Our National Treasure!

In long-term care across the nation, there is a crisis going on. Like a “horse on the
dining room table,” the crisis is there for all to see, but most choose to ignore it
because they just don’t know much about it.

The crisis for seniors’ care is composed of many factors, including sliding economic
times; the advent of Medicare woes; disruptions to family relationships (long-standing
and recent) at a time in life when human connection, protection, and support are much
needed; and the reliance on a medical model of treatment in most nursing homes and
long term care facilities. Thus, many of our elders are facing emotional, familial,
economic, and political crises at a point when they are least able to do much about
them on their own. Other factors only compound the problem:

•   Mental health issues including loneliness, abandonment, helplessness, and
hopelessness     
•   Financial issues, including lack of insurance protection
•   Elder abuse
•   Dementia and its attendant physical, emotional, and familial problems
•   The "brokering" of consultation services for the elderly population in residential care


Dr. Rand will be speaking about Geropsychology to professionals at the Arizona
Psychological Association in April, 2012.

Dr. Judith Rand, a licensed psychologist in Arizona, begins The Treasure Chest
Campaign as a way to call appropriate and sufficient attention to these issues facing
the elderly, those currently living in their own homes but especially those living at home
in long-term care facilities or considering this residential option. She is available to your
group or organization as a speaker to illustrate the nature of the problem as well as
necessary solutions.

You may wish to contact Dr. Rand regarding your personal or family situation and
causes for concern. She provides family counseling to find viable solutions for your
concerns. She also provides consultation services to families wanting to find the best
available placement for their loved ones.

“Our lives begin to end the day we are silent about things that matter."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
