Abstract
This chapter focuses on the various requirements for positive care for the elderly. Providing good, positive care for a number of elderly people with individual needs and various disabilities “under one roof” is a difficult but not an impossible task. Provided that the residential worker does not impose his own standards on residents, and expects them to accept without question a life-style that is completely alien to their own desires, then some level of understanding can be reached, and providing good positive care for individual residents becomes an interesting, challenging, and satisfying task. It is important, when caring for elderly people who may be feeling that they have outlived their usefulness, to provide daily new challenges that will produce positive thinking and actions and thereby, positive results. A well-planned admission into a residential care is important if the trauma of change is to be minimized. After admission to a residential home, it is necessary for the field social worker to continue to give support until such time as the resident indicates satisfaction and trust in the residential social worker.
