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.
Topics: building relationships, emotional needs, friendship
Audience: Home health aides, and nursing staff in long-term care, assisted living and adult day care programs.
