Older people sometimes find it hard to be independent and may require more support to actively participate in the activities in their lives. The Support Older People to Maintain Their Independence course helps aged care workers and families/carers/friends of older people and shows them how they can empower older people to be as independent as possible.

With 4 sections, each one takes learners through different facets of supporting independence from assisting older people in their activities to looking for signs of grief and providing support where needed. The sections also look at independence more closely, the barriers aged care workers may face when trying to support older people, as well as the complex range of emotions older people may feel during this time.
