Feel free to access these recordings at your leisure.

Here are some of the practical lessons I took away:

• A shower is a better, safer option than a bath for elderly parents

• There are items that are requires in the shower to ensure the safety of elderly ones such as anti-slip mats, seats, anti-slip slippers, hand-bars, proper lightening etc

• Lightening around the house and in the bathroom and corridors are critical

• Keep an eye on mobility and ensure mobility is optimised for good bone health even if the parent is bed-ridden

• The Caregiver must have basic medical knowledge in order to pick on and diagnose issues EARLY

• The qualifications of a Caregiver is important - what training does the Caregiver have?

• The Caregiver-to-Patient ratio is important .. and how it ensures optimised personalised attention and care

• The Caregiver/Nurse requires credentialing - very important!

• There must be detailed emergency reporting and pathway to follow when the need arises
