Growing Genuine Relationships

Checklists are wonderful. They are a powerful tool to some. They manage to keep you focused, organized and driven. Without doubt, checking off an item on that list can be quite satisfying, especially if you cross off several in quick succession. Being a Care Partner, and caring for a person who is living with a form of memory loss may have many repetitive tasks, but nurturing your relationship with them involves far more than just crossing items off of a checklist.

In dissecting the term ‘care partner’, the word care covers a wide realm of connections beyond those typically thought of as ADLs. Care includes providing for those physical needs, but it also covers the social and emotional needs of the person, the spiritual needs, and the needs of purpose. Care partnering includes care for their overall well-being. It is a large ask of those care partners in senior living communities, and it requires the provision of tools and coaching from supportive leadership.
