New Filipino Cultural Guide
A new resource has been developed by Centre for Philippine Concerns Australia to assist aged care providers in delivering culturally appropriate care.
This resources aims to:
- Provide a cultural tool to guide residential care providers in planning for cultural celebrations with their residents.
- Explain the Filipino ways of caring, family traditions and culture.
- Address the language difficulties of ageing Filipino seniors especially those with memory changes and reverting back to their native language.
- Provide some case studies of Filipino seniors leadership in the community , their experience of using various forms of aged care services and how they maintain their independence at home and in the community.
