idealHomes

Growing up in the Bronx and being in an environment where health isn't prioritized, it can be hard to find resources when you need them the most especially when it comes to finding nursing homes that treat people diagnosed with Dementia. idealHomes is intended to do just that where all the nursing homes that treat Dementia patients are listed so you won't have to scour the internet. idealHomes will also give you the ability to share your own story and possibly relate to other people who have hard a hard time finding the right home for their own circumstances.

Link to Project: https://idealhomes.up.railway.app/

How It's Made:

Tech Used: Javascript, EJS, Nodejs, Express, Mongodb, Bootstrap, CSS, Passport

Dependencies Used: bcrypt, connect-mongo, dotenv, ejs, express, express-flash, express-session, mongodb, mongoose, morgan, nodemon, passport, passport-local, validato

In this app you have the ability to share your own story on how difficult it was for you to find a nursing home that treats people diagnosed with Dementia as well as viewing other people's story on what they had to overcome

Optimizations:

I would like to in the near future modify the database collection that holds all the information on each home by hopefully providing more details on each nursing home. By doing this, I hope that it would make the user's life way easier due to the fact that all the necessary information they may need including insurance coverage and amenidies for residents can all be accessed through this website.

Lessons Learned:

My greatest challenge in creating this project was to figure out how to display the data I collected about the nursing homes from the database collection they were stored in to my EJS file while using the MVC architecture. Building this project definetly helped in my understanding of how the MVC architecture can be incorporated into a project.
