Again, from a presentation by Dr. Jennifer Carson -"Bravo Zulu", I have selected information to share on relationship-centered care. One of the main ideas of this care is that all parties are involved: the elder, family members, and other care partners such as physicians or a physical therapist. The elder involved needs to:
* have a sense of security knowing that the relationship is safe
* experience a sense of continuity with links to the past and the present
* form a sense of meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging
* develop a sense of a personally designed set of goals that add a sense of purpose
* feel a sense of achievement toward reaching desired goals
* possess a sense of significance - that the individual matters and is of value
This sense framework builds strong bonds and brings success for attaining goals that provide safety and unity for the individual as well as others who are a part of the relationship-centered care.
