Talking about ageing, death and dying

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.

Working in an environment with residents who are aging and dying can be demanding of you both professionally and personally. Each and every staff member are integral to creating a safe and compassionate experience for all.
