Produktbeschreibung
Are you confident about caring for an older relative or understand what care support they need? Being responsible for another adult's wellbeing, can be a daunting task but it does not need to be. Looking After An Older Person provides lots of information and guides you to provide the best care and support for your relative. Looking After An Older Person also provides insight into the experience of ageing and encourages the reader to observe care from the older person's perspective. It recognises the value in working with an individual who needs care and empowering them to speak up and say what they want and feel, at this stage of their life. As pensioners enter the care system, whether in hospital or in a community setting, people's attitude towards them changes. They become classified as being vulnerable and in need of protection, when in fact they need to be respected and listened to. With experience as a Registered Nurse and Manager of an Outstanding care home, the author provides advice and helpful suggestions, to encourage sensitive conversations with older relatives and encourages one to think about their own life journey and be open with their own family.
