In our society and, especially, around the aging of adults, there is a pervasive narrative that often focuses on the decline of their physical and cognitive skills. However, Amidst these challenges, there is a wealth of untapped potential and remaining capabilities waiting to be recognized and celebrated in such individuals.
As we age, it is undeniable that our body and mind undergo changes. However, they contain reserves of resistance, wisdom and strength that can be used to lead a full life. In this sense, It is crucial to recognize these remaining capabilities as they form the basis for people to continue to thrive and contribute to improving their quality of life.
A key aspect of realizing the potential of older people is the support provided by trained caregivers, who play a fundamental role, not only helping with daily tasks, but also facilitating the person’s path to acceptance and recovery. Recognizing the importance of their role, platforms such as Take care of themwhich offer comprehensive courses and activities designed to empower caregivers and improve the quality of care provided to seniors on their platform.
Ivan SpollanskyCEO of Take care of themunderlines the importance of understanding and harnessing the remaining capabilities of older people and states: “Our platform is committed to promoting a holistic approach to aged care, which focuses on enhancing the strengths and capabilities of individuals, rather than addressing only its limitations.”

Through these courses, caregivers gain valuable knowledge and practical skills that enable them to provide compassionate and effective care, while fostering a deeper appreciation for the remaining capabilities of older people.

If we recognize the resilient capacities of older people, providing them with support through well-trained caregivers, we can pave the way towards a more compassionate and inclusive society,” concludes Spollansky.
