#LongTermCare teams can be a bridge connecting residents and families to community #Grief and #Bereavement supports.

Take a moment to reflect: How can I support the resident and their family in the last days and into bereavement?

Care focuses on recognizing & relieving symptoms early. Addressing comfort is a key aspect of a #PalliativeApproach to care aligned with the resident's values & goals for their comfort, functionality, & well-being.

Reflect: How do I recognize & respond to symptoms early?

Goals of care conversations start with everyday moments.

Conversations with residents & families about what matters most to them help guide decision-making in #LongTermCare.

Reflect: What are the times when a resident would benefit from a #GoalsOfCare conversation?

In #LongTermCare, declining health is expected. Proactive #CarePlanning helps prepare residents & families for changes, ensuring care reflects their values & preferences.
Reflect: How can I support residents to live well today while also planning ahead?

A #PalliativeApproach isn't only about the final days. It's about integrating comfort, planning, & conversations from the time a person moves into #LongTermCare.

Reflections:
How can I provide a palliative approach in my role?
Where do I want to build more confidence?

#NHPCW

[BC Centre for Palliative Care @BCC4PC]

Why should a #PalliativeApproach be part of everyday care in long-term care settings, and not just at end of life?

Next week, during #NHPCW, we're inviting #LongTermCare teams to pause, reflect, and explore this question. Stay tuned!
