The ‘Encouraging Better Practice in Aged Care’ (EBPAC) initiative, Clinical Mentoring: from Evidence Base to Outcomes for Older People project was funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services. As the lead organisation, Resthaven was given the opportunity to review its pain assessment tools, increase staff understanding and knowledge of pain in older people, and improve assessment skills and related processes via mentoring.
Aligned to the project, the booklet Managing your pain - A guide for you and your family was developed for residents and clients receiving Resthaven services. The booklet provided information and helpful tips to assist them to better manage pain.
