Maintaining positive relations with your resident is important for the health and well-being of your community. Here are some tips to help you get started.
Be Patient
It can be hard to maintain positive relations with a resident who is difficult to understand or who makes you feel angry. But remember that it takes time and patience to build strong relationships. Be patient, and try to understand what your resident is trying to say. If you can’t get along with them, it may be best to find someone else who can help care for them.
Listen Carefully
When you’re trying to communicate with a difficult resident, it’s important to listen carefully. Try not to interrupt them, and don’t try to force them to talk in a way that they don’t want to. Instead, let them talk until they’re ready to stop.
Respect Their Rights
Respect your resident’s rights by not making assumptions about what they want or need. If you have questions about their care, ask them directly. Don’t try to take care of things on your own without consulting your resident or their family members.
Be Respectful of Their Privacy
When you’re caring for a resident, it’s important to respect their privacy. Don’t share personal information (like their address or medical history) without permission. And don’t share pictures or videos of them without their consent.
Be Honest About What You Can and Can’t Do
It can be hard when you’re caring for a resident, to be honest about your limitations. But it’s important to be upfront with your residents and their families about what you can and can’t do. This will help them understand your role in their care, and it will help avoid any misunderstandings.
Be Available to Your Resident
It can be hard when you’re caring for a resident, to be available to them. But it’s important to be available whenever they need you. This will help them feel supported and connected, and it will help avoid any misunderstandings.
Be Patient With Your Resident
It can take a lot of patience to care for a resident. But it’s important not to get frustrated with them. Remember that they may not understand everything that’s happening around them, and patience is key in helping them recover or adjust to their situation.
