Planning and designing new activities that fit diverse resident needs, all while keeping them active and engaged, is a major challenge for long-term care professionals. Creating a more effective activities program can be boiled down to a few key steps: - Developing individual, independent, and group activities based on unique resident preferences
- Finding what works for your facility
- Keeping activities in line with your mission statement
- Using programming that engages your residents, families, volunteers, and staff
Most importantly, activities programming needs to change as the residents change.
With The Big Book of Resident Activities, Second Edition outlines more than 100 specific activity ideas by target audience, timeframe, recommended group size, and cognitive function.
No matter what the clinical condition or cognitive limitation, this book offers activities that suit each resident’s distinct needs and interests. |
