Our Need for Caring Relationships:
The Resident’s Perspective Order# RP113
Residents talk about the essential area of life
often ignored in older people: the need for
caring relationships.
Some find companionship in
their new community, a new friend to sit with in
the dining room. For others, today is past
memories of love and the essential relationship
with nursing staff. With great emotion, all agree,
everyone needs someone to listen, someone to
care, to hold a hand, to connect with another
human being.
