Description
A person’s psychosocial needs are just as important as their physical needs. A resident in a long-term care facility has the same need to feel worthwhile, loved, and secure in their relationships as anyone else. Though for some it may be more difficult, having these needs met can contribute to their overall health and quality of life.
This course discusses the effects of aging on psychosocial well-being, identifies seven dimensions of wellness, and describes practical ways to support the psychosocial needs of residents. Though health and functional capacity decline with age, quality of life does not have to.
