The ELDAC Residential Aged Care (RAC) Toolkit is designed for clinicians and care workers providing palliative care and supporting advance care planning for older Australians living with advanced life-limiting illnesses, their families and carers. The RAC Toolkit is user-friendly and has been developed and reviewed by experts in aged care and palliative care.
The RAC Toolkit has evidence-based resources on palliative care and advance care planning that can assist you and your organisation in meeting the Aged Care Quality Standards.
Some features of the RAC Toolkit include:
- Clinical assessments, guidance and information to inform palliative care and advance care planning.
- Case studies on working with residents and their families and carers for individual and collective reflection.
- Resources for clinicians and care workers, such as on providing grief and bereavement support.
- A Personal Learning Assessment and Learning Plan.
- Organisational and After Death Audits.
The toolkit is divided into three main sections:
Delivers information on how to provide palliative care and advance care planning for residents and their families and carers.
Provides an opportunity for you to evaluate your learning and development needs and create a personal learning plan.
Assist members of your organisation to support palliative care and advance care planning for residents and their families and carers.
