I work in an aged care facility. What would you write on resident's evaluation when the resident does not participate in any of the activities despite of encouragement by team members? And communicated that living in an aged care is like living in a prison. Resident used to participate in activities but changed. when encouraged to join in outing before COVID 19, will plan to join but on the day will change the mind. A Catholic and used to attend the church service but declined to attend for a while.

I am overwhelmed with the activities on this site, truly amazing. This website has been tremendously amazing and helpful for all my residents on the dementia unit. I have worked in the field of dementia and Alzheimer’s in a long term care home for 30 years. This website is a blessing from above. You are all amazing for the future of care givers and residents.
