SUMMARY:Wellness and Reablement in an Aged Care Reform World - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Wellness and reablement is now one of the foundations of practice across the aged care sector. While most providers understand and are applying the wellness approach\, in the past there has been less emphasis on time–limited reablement. \nHow has the COVID period affected implementation? \nWhat is the Commonwealth expecting from providers in this critical area of practice? \nWhat future directions are indicated in the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety and in the design of the new Support at Home/ In-home care program? \nWhat are the challenges ahead for the sector in further embedding wellness and reablement as universal practice with clients? \nThis one and a half hour\, on-line session explores these questions and more. It will provide an opportunity for front line workers\, senior practitioners\, coordinators and managers to reflect on the preparedness of their current practice to meet future practice challenges.
