Introduction Nursing care does not stop at the physiological needs of the patient; it includes emotional, intellectual and

spiritual health. The Researchers Patient satisfaction is often defined in terms of the match between patients expectations of care and the actual care received. Patient satisfaction with nursing care is the patients subjective evaluation of the cognitive-emotional response resulting from the interaction between the expectations of nursing care and the perception of actual nurse behaviours/characteristics. Many factors have been shown to have an impact on patient satisfaction. Personal characteristics of patients, such as cultural background and degree of social support have been found to influence patient satisfaction ratings in some studies. Moreover, registered nurses make measurable contributions to the health and wellness of an elderly living in nursing homes. However, most hospitals do not employ adequate numbers of professional nurses with specialized training in the nursing care of older adults to positively impact resident outcomes. As a result, many people dont receive excellent gerontologic nursing while living in a long-term care facility. To begin meeting the nursing care needs of older adults throughout the nation, it is necessary to bring the current best practices in Gerontological nursing to the nurses whose area is caring for older adults. The researchers target respondents are elderly patients in St. Camillus Medhaven because the focus of the researchers study is about level of satisfaction of elderly patients in quality of care of staff nurses in St. Camillus Medhaven. This study prepares nurses to plan, manage and implement health care to meet the needs of older adults

and to evaluate the effectiveness of such care. In developing the study, it is necessary to capture this elderly nursing science and deliver it to nurses who are currently caring for older adults.
