Gray Matter: Why You Must Safeguard Your Aged Relatives So That They Can Live Happily After Retirement For 30 Years Or More - E-book - ePub

Safeguarding the aged is such an important concept - a gray matter. An entire life's career spent working in a nursing care home, or residential care home, may not be enough to guarantee an error-free, litigation-free caregiving. Besides, we all desire to grow old. Hence, we may at some period in our lives need help with assisted living. Therefore, this book is for you who need to refresh your mind about caring for your aged relatives - nay, about yourself, before it's too late! It draws on best practice experiences/practices from the US and UK, as well as the latest reference material on safeguarding.
The authors share their real, practical experiences with you in order to show you the care given to your aged relatives in a nursing care home/ residential care home. Thereby, the book exposes you to the care you will receive as a senior. The authors advocate safeguarding the aged as a population health concept within the Sustainable Development Goals. We know for sure that you have empathy/sympathy for the elderly persons close to you.
Yes, that's why you have grabbed this book, isn't it? It is written by healthcare practitioners who have had - and still have - direct engagement with residents/patients. The authors also offer perspectives on safeguarding from a Low and Middle Income Country - Ghana - thereby helping to decolonize the curriculum. Now open it and take a deep dive into the raison d'etre and know-how of caregiving, whether at home, a residential care home, or in a nursing care home.
It will help you shape up for the inevitable gray matter that is staring you in the mirror now.
