Residents enjoy singing the old hymns
This training session is intended for the staff of Care Homes, to supplement their compulsory training, by looking at the spiritual needs of residents. It is designed to last about two and a half hours, with a short break for tea/coffee.
While the tutor should be familiar with the Home environment, it is also an opportunity for mutual sharing of some of the difficulties presented in caring for elderly people. The programme includes:
- Exploring and explaining spirituality
- Defining spiritual needs
- Looking at bereavement (all forms of loss)
- Helping carers to:
- Meet spiritual needs in everyday life
- Bring spiritual comfort in one-to-one situations
- Sensitively prepare residents for death.
