EDUCATION overview
After delivering a palliative approach and recognising the stages of deterioration, an important clinical skill is recognising when a resident’s death is approaching. The process of dying can be a fearful experience for all, including staff. With good care and preparation, most people can die comfortably.
End of Life is a unique and challenging experience for health professionals, families, and staff. Each resident is part of the community that makes residential aged care homes feel like home. This webinar aims to empower staff to ensure that each resident, as a valued member of the residential aged care home, can live with dignity and comfort until the end.
