bridgetmarie81 0 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi! I have a question for everyone. We are doing an inservice blitz at my facility. My topic of conversation is: The role of activities in preventing depression, isolation, wounds, and falls. I am curious to know how everyone would respond to this question and what they would inservice the staff on. This is for all the staff in the facility not just the activity department. Thanks!!

I am curious to know how everyone would respond to this question and what they would inservice the staff on. This is for all the staff in the facility not just the activity department. Thanks!! Here are some of my quick answers: Depression: getting people out of their rooms and socializing, exercising, engaging in activities will prevent depression Isolation: having activities that people are interested in will encourage them to socialize and interact with others therefore preventing isolation. wounds and falls: regular exercise such as tai chi, chair, yoga will aid in preventing falls. The activity department is a major factor in preventing many ailments of the seniors in our homes. We have many different programs that are beneficial to our residents and is it our job to make them fun so that the residents will attend and benefit from them!
