Aged Care Journeys in Palliative Care for Careworkers
Careworkers often provide care to an older person for months or years. Over time, the person’s needs may change. We have looked at some common patient journeys in aged care and highlighted how our Practice Tips can be used to support careworkers in providing care.
For each of the older people you are about to meet there is a journey map to download and an online page to prompt you to think about what you could do to help.
These four journeys were developed through research conducted by the Gold Coast Primary Healthcare Network, Palliative Care Queensland, COTA Queensland, and Beacon Strategies. Read about the development of the journey maps.
