Understanding & responding to illness in clients living with frailty
Join us for this webinar focusing on recognising early signs of illness in frail clients and gaining practical tools and confidence for effective decision-making
In the world of domiciliary care recognising when a client is unwell is crucial. A key concept caregivers must be familiar with is frailty. Frailty is a common condition among older adults and those with multiple chronic conditions, and it often presents in ways that can be subtle and easy to overlook.
Understanding the signs and common presenting conditions associated with frailty can empower caregivers to provide timely and appropriate care.
Clients living with frailty are at higher risk for adverse health outcomes, including falls, hospitalisations, and mortality. Identifying frailty involves looking beyond obvious symptoms and considering the broader picture of an individual's health.
Understanding this can significantly enhance the quality of care provided to clients.
By adopting a proactive approach and confidently escalating concerns and findings to healthcare providers, caregivers can help manage the complexities of frailty, ensuring that their clients live healthier lives and safely avoid hospital admissions.
