The highlights far outweigh the challenges The good thingsThe sites many success stories through, actively connecting with residents to create person centered care and event planning. Supporting and encouraging my team and collaborating ideas. The ability to provide purpose for residents through programs that promoted independence and self-esteem.
The challengesMore freedom in adapting ways for residents to pursue their passions, whether it be cooking, gardening, woodworking or anything else they feel they can no longer do. Increase staff levels specific to implementing leisure and lifestyle activities. Physical health and mental health are inextricably intertwined, and lack of confidence, low mood and motivation is so common among many of the elderly but in most cases that can be turned around.
