The advantage of residential care homes over independent living is that residents are very rarely lonely. Even if their own friends and family can’t make a visit, another resident, a nurse or a carer is always on хэнд for a chat.
Many homes employ an activities co-ordinator who will arrange for all manner of entertainment to take place at the home or for carefully planned excursions to gardens, shopping centres and to see shows. If you thought it was all bingo, then think again.
These days, if it’s not Wii Sports, it might be a or a that gets the residents up on their feet. Perhaps a quiz or a sing-a-long will help them recall events from the past. Even is used to help perk up some people.
It’s not just being entertained that keeps the residents happy, it’s being treated like a human being, with respect. Most carers will refer to residents as mister or misses, unless requested otherwise. They will ask them what they would like to wear, so they have some choices in their daily routine.
