Hi I work in a small country town with a close knit community. After a recent incident I wonder if anyone has suggestions on how to discuss end of life plans with clients and families and how to indicate clearly on their file if they have a DNR?
Hi Alison, in my experience the DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) is usually stated in the “Resident’s Profile” which is filled in by the resident or his/her family on arrival. It may also contain other plans for the end of life such as preferred Funeral Company, religious rites, ACP (Advance care Planning), and other related issues.
What a blessing to have found the Golden Carers website, our residents love the activities, particularly fond of visual and musical quizzes. Oh, what fun!! Thanks to all to those at Golden Carers and everyone who contributes to making this website an invaluable tool in ones' toolkit.
