PSYCHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN ELDERLY
There are also psychological changes when people are getting old. When caring for them, we need to take care of their mind as well.
General psychological condition
Old people get tired easily. They may have lessened ability to express. Be patient when communicating with them. Let them finish what they want to say.
Self-protection
Elderly people tend to resist strangers and do not trust people. Before starting a health care procedure to them, or even before moving their furniture at home, tell them beforehand what you are going to do. This would avoid un-cooperation when they don¡¦t trust you.
