With summer revival in full swing in the British Columbia, Asian seniors who are attacked violently may not have resources to deal with the hate. It may also be the case that there are Asian seniors who will be limited in their ability to participate in activities due to injuries, finance, illness, or mobility issues.
Home caregivers can assist by offering ways Asian seniors can celebrate our BC Dumpling Festival within the comfort of their own homes and physical abilities. Below are seven ways caregivers can help bring a little love and joy to the Asian seniors who are in their care:
The Importance of independent voices for Asian Seniors
Given the requirements that come with Asian seniors care, a home care agency that is Asian care certified may be seen to rise above and beyond with its caregiving services and policies. This makes Family council care givers qualified to serve the senior population, as we are connected directly to the resident or home care senior. We are also friends and advocates of the seniors and are not associated with the management or the directors of the home.
We even go one step further by requesting that all of our province recognize the rights of all seniors not just Asian seniors to have the right to establish independent family councils. Many Asian Family councils are experienced group of caregivers who have been there through the process of advocating for care. It is important not to abandon seniors independence by forcing senior groups of family councils to be run by the directors and managers of care homes in BC.
