Patricia Morrison of Social Pulse Home Care Agency on preserving senior independence: how caregivers include clients in their care and keep them engaged.
Preserving senior independence takes more than finishing a checklist, and in this conversation Patricia Morrison shows what it looks like inside a client's home. Patricia is a registered nurse and the Founder and Owner of Social Pulse Home Care Agency, which serves aging adults in the Myrtle Beach area.
Watch to learn:
• Why Patricia's caregivers ask clients to show them how they like the laundry run and the bed made
• The coaching she gives her team on words that encourage clients rather than discourage them
• How caregivers balance fall prevention with letting clients do what they can
• Why caregivers bring social bags of puzzles, trivia, and activities into the home
• How caregivers encourage family members to step out and take a break
• Why she recruits caregivers from the nursing students she teaches
Patricia describes the balance in her own words: "But we need to be able to encourage them to allow us to assist them to prevent falls and things that can harm them while we help them keep their independence."
