Cue Cards Created by Quality Aging 2017

CueCardsSpeaking English can be tiring to the elderly – as they are engaging in a translation-type of process.

Many elderly people revert back to their native language as they aged.

Elderly people finding themselves in a new environment can be a little apprehensive to communicate as they may feel that no one will understand what they are trying to convey.

These cue cards have been put together to assist staff, Carers and/or volunteers to communicate more easily with the person in their care.

Print them and laminate them to make them a very useful tool, which can be used by all staff, carers and/or volunteers during the caring process.
