Painful to hear, this program is a wake up call to staff. Residents' emotions have been ignored too long. Residents want staff to know they're not just a room number or a medical condition.
Some speak with tears in their eyes and others hide their sadness but, any compassionate person will recognize their ongoing need for emotional connection.
Topics: emotional needs, depression, loss, loneliness, boredom
Skill Competency: Respecting Client
Audience: Staff working in long-term care and adult day care. Students in allied health training programs.
