The implementation of a model of person-centred practice in older person settings Image 2.9: Resident’s Bedroom Residents are encouraged to personalise their bedrooms and this work is currently underway (Image 2.9). Active learning for residents Active learning was identified as important for residents/guests and staff started to think of ways to create a more stimulating environment for residents. Meaningful activities which were often viewed as an added extra if work wasn’t too busy became accepted as part of the necessary day-to-day experiences for residents/guests. Residents/guests notice boards (Image 2.10) were created to supply information on what is new in the home, activities planned for the week, notices about staff development work that is of interest etc. Structured activities are based on assessments carried out with the residents where they are documented on activity assessment forms. This adds credibility, is inclusive of the individual and becomes part of the overall individual care plan. Image 2.10: Residents’ notice board at Carrigorn House 81
The implementation of a model of person-centred practice in older person settings Image 2.11: Cookery session with residents Structured activities are now tailored to residents/guests wishes rather than based on what staff think residents need. This has at times tapped into skills that residents had prior to entering residential care such as baking. The example in Image 2.11 is a cookery group established in the Community Hospital of the Assumption. The group is organised and run by the residents and day centre members with the hospital supplying the facilities and ingredients. In this photo a service-user of the day centre is leading the cookery group. The advantage of this group is that people come together to share skills and recipes, and reminisce and chat in a relaxed atmosphere. The members plan and own the group and topics of conversations. One of the members has quite an advanced stage of dementia but can participate in the cooking and storytelling along with the rest of the group. Pet therapy has become recognised by staff as beneficial and all three sites have resident dogs and other animals. Image 2.12 shows Josephine, a guest from Carrigoran House, with a pet guinea fowl.
