EDUCATION overview
Each team member working in a Residential Aged Care facility play an enormous part in a resident’s life and wellbeing. Compassionate staff contribute to and foster the environment this person now calls their home. The aging, dying and death concept can be a fearful experience for both the resident and their loved ones. This is also the case for the staff and other residents working and living in the facility.
