Basic course on enjoying life for Caregivers

Relationships have been described as integral to the caring process but there remains little guidance to how enabling relationships in the care for elderly people can be developed. The basic training describes how staff is facilitated to contribute to the development of relationships with elderly people and balancing physical care with the enjoyment of life. Understanding of the life story of a person supports the staff in seeing the client as the person they have been as well as the person they are now. Empathic listening; safe action and creativity are covered extensively in the training.
