Hi! My name is Caroline. I am a Recreation Therapist in the USA. I have a particular resident who is new to our facility. She is becoming increasingly withdrawn and is having a difficult time adjusting to being in a nursing home. She has expressed an interest in finding a job or a new hobby to keep her busy. She is severely visually impaired and is concerned that this will impact her participation in something new. She is also aphasic and word finding is difficult for her. If anyone has any ideas on "jobs" around the facility or hobbies for visually impaired residents, I would be grateful! Thank you!
Golden Carers is absolutely fantastic - thank you so much - we work with Blind and visually impaired groups in the UK and many of your activities can be adapted for this client group.
