Work Effectively with Older People

Remaining in their own home undertaking the activities of living is at the heart of many people’s view of independence. Only a small minority of older people are happy at the prospect of moving into an aged care home. Not just because the move  itself can be distressing but because they are reluctant to leave their home, possessions, memories, routines and local community behind.   In this topic you will study ways in which you can support an older person to stay in their own home and live as happily and normally as they can as a worker in the aged care or community sectors.  This course contributes 2 points to the CPD standards.
