I assume you’re working for an agency of some type or are you doing this on your own??
If you’re working for an agency then someone should have done an assessment on this client and told you what they think the needs are You are with the client so you should be able to see what the needs of might be Remember offered time the needs of the client change Usually elderly client decline over time You are the one that sees these changes so your care should reflect the changes I know it can be difficult but allow the client to do as much as he can on his own so he maintains his function
Thank you so much for such an awesome resource and to everyone for sharing their ideas. It takes the pressure off and allows more time to be spent with the ones we are caring for who after all need our time more than anything else. I am looking forward to reading as much as I can get my hands on and finding ways to improve the lives of our valuable community members and bring some sunshine in. Much appreciated :)
