The psychosocial and mental health considerations of a quarantine: What exactly do we need to care plan?
Length: 1 Hour
In the midst of this mass hysteria, both personally and professionally, we need to focus on the effects this quarantine has on our residents/clients. From a psychosocial and mental health perspective, there are serious concerns. While trying to maintain some sense of normality, everyone is working hard to keep their head above water. Yet, it is still essential to assess the seniors' mental health status as they experience separation from loved ones, the loss of freedom, uncertainty over disease status, and boredom. This program will offer insight to the resident/client experience to so the best individualized care plans can be developed.
This content is suitable for both beginning and intermediate levels.
