So it's a new year - could 2016 be the year you choose care as a rewarding career? With an estimated 2 million people in the UK over 65 and a rising number of children and young people needing access to care services, there has never been a better time to start caring!
New research out this week reveals people with dementia still benefit from visits from friends, family or carers – despite 42% of the general public believing that if their loved ones can no longer recognise them, the visits are worthless.
After Christmas, people with dementia and their carers may face long, dark days ahead until they next spend time socialising or getting out of the house.
The Alzheimer's Society is calling on people to make a positive New Year's resolution to spend time with relatives who suffer with the disease, and help them take part in activities they enjoy, in order to keep connected.
The birth of a child with a disability or chronic illness, or the discovery that a child has a disability, has a profound effect on a family.
When parents learn that their child has a disability or special health care need, they begin the process of continuous, lifelong adjustment. Adjustment can include periods of stress, grief, frustration, and isolation. Coping with uncertainty about the child's development may interfere with the parents' ability to provide support for each other and to other family members. Even performing the basic necessities of daily life, such as grocery shopping, or cleaning the house can become difficult to impossible.
End of life care must be tailored to the individual according to new NICE guidelines released today. The guidelines aim to put the dying person at the heart of decisions about their care, so that they can be supported in their final days in accordance with their wishes.
