What we’ll talk about
The kind of care a resident living with dementia receives can make the difference between night and day. In the industry, residents can be labelled as having “responsive or challenging behaviours”, at Group Homes Australia, we see this as residents merely having needs that are going unmet – and it’s the mission of a curious and connected care partner to understand and assist with those needs.
A Homemaker is like a blend of an AIN (Assistant in nursing) – qualified with a certificate III or IV in aged care, and a PCA (personal care assistant). But as the name suggests, their main contribution is to make the resident feel at home, and to find ways to help our residents live beyond their diagnosis, rather than suffer. Caring for those living with dementia, they adapt to interact.
Join me for this webinar on April 28th where we’ll discuss what makes a great care partner, and how we hire, train and empower our Homemakers.
I’ll see you there!
