Cue Cards

 

Speaking 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.

More Cue Cards will be added in due course. If there is a language that you would like as soon as possible do not hesitate to contact us or leave a message below in the comments.

Click on the links below for the language you require assistance with.

    Is there a difference in language in India from Hindu to Punjabi if there is could we have Punjabi added as we have a large population of Punjabi’s in our area.

    • BIRGIT / Reply December 4, 2019 at 3:52 pm

      Hi Kerri,

      From google: Punjabi is among the 22 national languages of India while Hindi is considered to be the national language of India. Punjabi is written in the Gurmukhi script while Hindi is written in the Devanagri script. Both have a different vocabulary, grammar, and punctuation style.

      I will make you some Punjabi cue cards up.

      :) :) :)

    Hi Birgit

    These look good. Just for your knowledge when you open the Arabic ones the first page says English as the title up the top.

    Loving checking out your site as a new subscriber!

    Kind Regards

    Emma

    Hi think these resources are fantastic I have been asked about the possibility of getting one for Romania. Thanks

    • BIRGIT HEANEY / Reply March 8, 2018 at 1:56 pm

      Hi Paula

      Will have them up asap. :)

      • Paula / Reply March 9, 2018 at 7:43 am

        Thank you for these cue cards and profiles. I printed out the Maori and Latvian profiles for a couple of residents files. The facility I work in went through a spot audit over the last 2 days and the auditor was very impressed with having these resources in the files and that the other staff are able to use these to help with the ADL’s of our residents.

        • BIRGIT HEANEY / Reply March 9, 2018 at 7:59 am

          I’m grateful to be of assistance. I have been through a few audits in my time and found these lacking so had to do it myself and it was just so time consuming.

          There are also folder covers for Cue Cards and Profiles that can be put together, along with

          Charter of Care Recipients’ Rights and Responsibilities -Residential Care leaflets.

          You will find them at https://www.qualityaging.com.au/resources/multiculturalism/

          Thank you once again or your kind words.

    Hello. Any chance of getting some Japanese cue cards added? We have a Japanese client who no longer remembers much English so Japanese cue cards would assist greatly not only for the client but for staff to learn some Japanese too! Thank you.

    We have just completed our accreditation and these cue cards have been fantastic. I now have a range of different nationalities at my facility and trying to track down these cue cards, or even trying to make them up myself I just do not have the time.
    Being a coordinator time is very precious and I love the fact I can come on to this site and download what I need for any theme days, Accreditation purposes, Dementia specific and even preparing for the month ahead. we all know how busy our positions are and to receive this assistance is something I am very grateful for, it means I can be with my residents more and even offer a good quality program. So thank you guys!!!
