Hello to all you amazing GC members Just wanted to gain feedback on your thoughts about the current trend in Age Care. I have been working in this space for nearly 15 years, and I am struggling to maintain my usual positive, can do attitude to engage our Clients. As we all know, the benefit lifestyle programs and activities provide our Clients in so many positive ways is currently being pushed aside due to organizational penny pinching and focus on money rather than Client needs also care. It appears the Age Care standards that promote, I quote "supports for daily living that are important for my health and well-being and that enable me to do the things I want to do" seem to have been forgotten. Is anyone else struggling with this currently? Are we able to share stories and experiences, in hope of finding some inspiration and solutions on how to make things better?. I just find it so sad that the people making these decisions on how we care for our Clients today, will be our clients in the future, would they not expect better? Love to hear from you Rob
Thank you so much for this site I use this every month, I do a flyer of what's on each month for my facility and use all the wonderful ideas, quizzes, trivia and craft. It makes my job so much easier.
