Healthcare professionals working in care services for the elderly have a wide range of experiences and perspectives. Here are some common themes that emerge from their work:
1. Fulfilling and meaningful work: Many healthcare professionals find working with the elderly to be rewarding and meaningful. They often develop close relationships with their patients and derive satisfaction from improving their quality of life and well-being.
2. Physical and cognitive challenges: Caring for the elderly can involve dealing with various physical and cognitive challenges. Healthcare professionals often encounter patients with chronic illnesses, mobility issues, dementia, and other age-related conditions.
3. Emotional and psychological support: Elderly care often involves addressing emotional and psychological needs. Healthcare professionals may witness the decline of their patient's health and the impact it has on their mental well-being.
4. Multidisciplinary collaboration: Healthcare professionals working in elderly care services collaborate with a range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, and others.
5. Ethical and end-of-life considerations: Healthcare professionals in elderly care often face ethical dilemmas and end-of-life considerations. They may encounter situations where they need to balance patient autonomy, quality of life, and medical interventions.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
