Supporting Choice and Dignity — Staff Quick Card
All resources are digital only - no physical items are shipped.
These resources are general in nature and do not substitute for professional advice. Always follow your organisation's policies and procedures.
A free quick reference card for aged care staff on upholding residents' choice and dignity in everyday care. It covers practical prompts across morning and personal care, meals, dressing and social life, activities and routines, and supporting choice for people living with dementia or cognitive impairment.
It finishes with a "Before You Assist" checklist — can they choose, can they do part of it themselves, is there another option, am I following their preferences, am I respecting privacy — plus frontline reminders like knocking and asking before entering, explaining care before doing it, and listening to "no".
