Staff Grief and Loss Powerpoint Presentation - Quality Palliative ...

Background
• LTC homes often do not formally recognize
the grief and loss experienced by the front
line staff.
• Due to the nature of the care provided by
front line staff, close relationships form
between staff and residents.
• These relationships are sometimes referred
to by staff as “family like”
• The close personal relationships that staff
have with residents contribute to staffs’ grief
at death.
