Living and Dying with Dignity: Lessons from Older Adults
Providing care that offers dignity to persons at end-of-life is one of the greatest gifts we can give, however we are not always invited or comfortable to speak openly about death. As clinicians this puts us at a disadvantage because we don’t always have the time and emotional, physical, and psychological space to process what we hear. At the heart of a patient-centered approach is the ability to hear and communicate effectively with our clients. The aim of this project is to give older adults the platform to share their wisdom and insights about living and dying with dignity. The intent is that the videos they co-design can be used in clinician training and education to give us all time to reflect and hear what patients feel is important.
