Our resident Occupational Therapist, Brittany Raux, has authored a whitepaper on mental health for aged care facilities.
Raux breaks down different mental health conditions, important factors to consider, strategies and interventions, and considerations for aged care employees when caring for residents.
Raux illustrates the impact mental health conditions can have on the quality of life of residents. She uses academic sources, industry bodies, relevant authorities and a collection of insights from her own experiences. Raux highlights the increased likelihood of anxiety and depression and how we, as aged care professionals, can work to reduce this.
In this eBook you will find dementia-specific information for aged care facilities, insight into depression after a stroke in elderly sufferers, and options for treating anxiety in residents diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Whether you’re a professional carer, an adult child of someone suffering from a mental health condition, or an aged care professional, this introductory guide provides practical and easy-care solutions.
