Person-Centred Care in Aged Care
Person-Centred Care in Aged Care is a new course in the Kineo Courses library, developed to provide staff who provide care in residential and home care settings an understanding of why person-centred care is essential, the benefits to the carer and consumer, and the principles and practices of implementing person-centred care.
Every aged-care consumer is different, with their own unique tastes, preferences, and goals. What amounts to great care for one consumer could miss the mark for another, which is why it is important to be person-centred.
Kineo Courses are excited to announce that the latest addition to our aged care library, Person-Centred Care in Aged Care, is now available.
Person-centred care is an approach that places the consumer at the centre of their care. It means that all consumers are treated with dignity and respect, and are seen as unique individuals, capable of making decisions about how they want to be treated. Person-centred care helps to ensure that consumers receive the care and support they need to live life as they choose.
So, what does the course cover?
Throughout the course, learners will discover:
- what person-centred care is
- thinking and acting in a person-centred way
- how to incorporate person-centred care into their everyday work
