National caregiver guides for aged residential care
This project is working with the sector and members from the Waitemata gerontology team to create and publish the national caregivers guides for ARC.
Caregiver guides are point of care reference tools to support decision-making for health care assistants in aged care. The current caregiver guides is being reviewed and refreshed to provide a te ao Māori perspective and align with the evidence in the updated frailty care guides (2023 edition).
The national resource will have a wider reach. It will be promoted and made available to all ARC facilities throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. It would also be appropriate for whānau, spouses/family and home support services caring for older adults in the community.
Updates to the sector will be provided on this page and via the ARC Quality Lead members.
