pkc 0 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 No, but I am really interested in it! What about bathroom breaks? lol Figure we would give them breaks! :-) VERY short ones or maybe just put a port a potty next to or under them! Was thinking maybe some high school band might come and play for them for at least awhile. Do a discussion group type of thing. We have a book club maybe try to get them all to do it at the same time and have their meeting during that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shilbach 0 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 We do this in our facility every September. We enlist some of the residents to sit in the lobby area and rock. Usually 15 minute to 30 minute increments. They can watch television, others (staff, volunteers, residents and visitors) go by and talk with them. They can have a snack. This is good for them for interaction. If you place the rocker in a busy area of the facility and "switch off" and don't have them do it for the whole six hours it can be fun and rewarding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
