I am now completing my counselling placement hours in an aged care residence, where there is no mention of “facility” and indeed the rooms are known as the resident’s apartment. I prepared by reading Felicity’s book Counselling and Psychotherapy with Older People in Care, and found it invaluable. I have become passionate about counselling being made more available in all types of aged care. I also hope that more elder-centred communities, like those you were discussing, and have become popular in the USA as the result of the work of Dr Bill Thomas, are the norm, rather than the exception.
