Visiting Older People: Guidelines & Resources

 In this very practical resource, Sr Mary provides guidelines and practical resources for those visiting older people in nursing homes, or their own homes on a long term basis. 

When an older person is living on their own or in a nursing home, loneliness and a feeling of loss, especially the loss of independence and familiar company, as well as reduced choices, can be keenly felt. The joy of a visit from a familiar person can mean such a lot to them.

 In this very practical resource, Sr Mary provides guidelines and practical resources for those visiting older people in nursing homes, or their own homes on a long term basis. As well as information for visiting those who are mentally alert, there are also sections about visiting those in the later stages of dementia, those coming towards the end of life and when visiting restrictions are in place, such as in a pandemic. Part 1 is for general use, while Part 2 is for those for whom spirituality is particularly valued.
