Description
Looking After An Older Person: A Guide for Relatives and Friends provides valuable information and guidance on caring for an older relative. With experience as a Registered Nurse and Manager of an Outstanding care home, the author shares advice and helpful suggestions to encourage sensitive conversations with older relatives. The book offers insight into the experience of ageing, encouraging readers to observe care from the older person's perspective. It highlights the importance of respecting and listening to individuals who need care, rather than viewing them as vulnerable or in need of protection. By working together with the individual, their needs can be met and they can be empowered to speak up and express their wishes. This guide is designed to support relatives and friends in providing the best possible care and support for older adults, promoting a more positive and respectful approach to ageing.
