'I urge everyone who is caring for someone to view Amanda's films and work' Sir Michael Parkinson
'Amanda leads the way in caring and dignity with her powerful films and work' Baroness Joan Bakewell
Being a Good Carer is essential reading for anyone who cares for an elderly person, whether as a professional or as a loved one, in its promotion of the role dignity and respect should play.
This accessible and detailed guide includes practical tips, checklists for best practice, and case studies from a wide range of carers offering solutions to common problems. With expert advice on personal care, daily living and addressing spiritual needs, this handbook shows you how to deliver compassionate and dignified care to older people.
Uniquely, Amanda Waring also provides support and guidance for the carer, on how to maintain energy and commitment, recognise the signs of compassion fatigue and where to get help if you need it.
Amanda Waring is a campaigner for dignity within health and social care, and the author of The Heart of Care and Being A Good Carer. A filmmaker, her campaigning film 'What Do You See' has been shown across the world, and she is a leader of training workshops on dignified care of the elderly. Amanda is a presenter for Aged Care TV, an adviser on the government's Dignity Board.
