empathy in care

Empathy in care means understanding and genuinely sharing the feelings and experiences of others. It involves listening carefully, showing compassion, and acknowledging their emotions without judgment. This helps build trust and makes individuals feel valued and understood. In a healthcare or caregiving context, empathy enhances communication, improves care quality, and fosters a supportive environment. It’s about seeing the world from their perspective and responding with kindness and respect, ensuring they feel heard, comforted, and cared for in a meaningful way.
