Bread and Roses is a labour movement the shows that it isn’t just about getting enough money to survive, but also getting money to do things that are considered little luxuries, like having extra money to buy roses.

I say this because without effective communication service users such as the elderly might not understand or may become confused; making misunderstandings more likely to occur. Effective communication is any sort of communication that works and you can easily convey emotions or thoughts to another person. Contexts is the situation a person is involved in when using effective…

something from these people and I hope I give them something to learn and look forward to weekly as well. I’ve found that at Mountain Care the residents will tell you what they like or what they want- for the most part. Sometimes I am told that they don’t want to talk to me anymore or other times I can’t get a word in edgewise in the conversation. Wherever the residents direct me is where I go.

understand that all nursing homes are not terrible, and that some actually care about the wellbeing of their residents. The second day of clinicals was even better. Not only did I have the pleasure of meeting and getting to know more residents, I also got to practice my skills on actual residents. I aided residents with getting up and getting dressed, learned how to use the Hoyer lift, sat with a resident and 1-on-1 fed them, and so much more! It is fascinating to see how much a person’s mood…
