About this listen

There are a variety of areas where ethical issues can emerge when working with older adults: complex family dynamics, end-of-life wishes, preserving dignity and respect, promoting independence, and keeping the individual safe. When these issues arise, it can be challenging to navigate the best course of action. Learn about ethical principles that can guide professionals in the support of older adults and their families. Learning about these principles and ethical decision-making models can help people to understand how to reduce the risk of harm, how to advocate for the older adult, and how to report issues to the proper authorities when necessary.
