Still Caring
Still Caring shows the many ways in which families or friends can provide continuing support to elderly people in residential aged care facilities, and how important this is. Such ongoing involvement in an elderly person's life in care can help to make it as comfortable, happy and fulfilling as possible. Self-care is also discussed, along with practical ideas about how Carers can look after their own well-being as they continnue to provide support to others. This book was completed while Australia's Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety was investigating widespread concerns about the industry. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic also highlighted the vulnerability of elderly people in residential aged care. Like many others, the authors had a strong desire to enhance the lives of aged care residents and were driven to record their thoughts and offer suggestions for possible improvements. Written by two retired social workers with relevant personal and professional experience, Still Caring is an informative and insightful read for anyone, anywhere who is supporting an elderly person in residental aged care.
