@jsam_1967 So nice to hear. We do get a bad wrap & it does take teamwork & a multidisciplinary approach to achieve good outcomes....just as it does working in other healthcare settings. Well done to all. 👍🏻

@AileenCollier15 @drleeroyw @GregHuntMP @drol007 ...easy to become cynical when out of the #agedcareRC, so far, copious more documenting/report-writing & no time for direct care. Haven't seen any additional funds for more #lifestyle staff, #allied health where it's needed.

@dr_shibley Hope you get some support soon! This is not good.

Are others noticing an increase in 'incidents' of close contact/intimate contact between #agedcare residents as well as an increase in aggression since they've been locked up for nearly two years!? Just wondering. 🤔

@bjakd @Eily19Webb Didn't really work the last time. 😒

[Kerrin💃🏼🍷🍊💙 😷💉 @62Kerrin]

@jsam_1967 Oh, my..the poor patient & thank goodness they have you to care for them!!

[Kerrin💃🏼🍷🍊💙 😷💉 @62Kerrin]

@catherinemary0 Yep. Been too afraid to go shopping during, brief, un-lockdowns...😷🙄

@jsam_1967 Several yrs ago, I was reviewing an ACP with a son & his mum who had advanced Alzheimer's. When asked if she would want CPR if her heart suddenly stopped, son said 'yes, of course!' Mum became visibly distressed. Short story, mum did not want CPR!

This has happened to me too...it feels like grief in some ways...

End of #MelbourneLockdown day 1: a friend came over to visit (and consume many many choc chip cookies) and I had to hold in the tears. He asked me how I was doing & then the tears fell. It’s like I just released a big anxious breath I didn’t know I was holding. #MelbourneUnlocked

@catherinemary0 Sunshine here in regional Vic! 😉😎

Boggles the mind that it continues" All talk, in many places, about person-centred-care, autonomy, dignity of choice, rights....

[🧶 unravellednurse 🧶 @jsam-1967.bsky.social @jsam_1967]

I am so sick of seeing ‘dementia’ in a diagnosis list and that person being denied choice and opportunity to make decisions, so they are bypassed and family member contacted about every little thing.

@jsam_1967 @Dom_Perrottet Not in Vic...most deaths in the country...terrible.

[Kerrin💃🏼🍷🍊💙 😷💉 @62Kerrin]

Finally! #ethics approval for my project!! 😁
