 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. One to one activities:
- Involves 2 people (resident and staff, peers, family and/or volunteers)Intervention depends on the needs and interest of the individual.
- Try to visit the same time and day.
- Don’t just visit; have something prepared.
- Document resident’s response to visit.
- With some creativity and adaptation, most group activities can be offered on a one to one basis.
-
Activity staff, volunteers, family members, visitors, and other health care providers can provide one to one activities that are meaningful to the resident.
