ONE TO ONE ACTIVITIES
Meeting the individual quality of life needs and interests of residents in long term care facilities, is quite the challenge for Activity and Recreation Departments. Many residents require one to one interventions for various reasons such as cognitive impairments, severe physical limitations, psychosocial or health conditions, and even, choice. Activity staff, volunteers, family members, visitors, and other health care providers can provide one to one activities that are meaningful to each resident. It must be a team approach.

I only wish I had this wisdom and intuitive skill decades ago. All I can do is share with you now. Trust me. This is a huge management tip.
