Fabiano, a nationally recognized educator in the health care field was tremendously supportive and understanding of the issues that is of concern to all. Dynamic, interesting, challenging and commit- ted were the words most frequently heard to oe OR Succesful workshop hosted by Terraceview Lodge describe Fabiano’s pres- entation. His wit, sense of humor and style com- plimented what is a very intense, sensitive and serious subject to all — providing the best care and support to the elder- ly population or for those who for reason can no longer look after themselves. Fabiano emphasized that the needs and expec- tations of the elderly and of those caring for the elderly whether they be staff or family, are changing dramatically due to increased knowl- edge about aging and in- creased communication system within our socie- ty. The new emerging resident or elderly person will therefore receive significantly different some. services and support from the community. Fabiano was tremen- dously supportive of the family unit and en- couraged the family to realize that for the best part the decisions being made were best done by those directly involved and that there were rare- ly right or wrong answers or magical ones, During the workshop members of. care facilities were able to share information with one another and general- ly be supportive of one another. Lorna Willis, educa- tion and special projects co-ordinator at the B.C, Long Term Care Associ- ation, was also in atten- dance and provided in- formation and consulta- tion to those in atten- dance, One of the major out- comes of the workshop was the desire and com- mitment to have addi- tional workshops of the same nature in order to improve the quality of life for the elderly of the community.
