This book briefly shows how we can enhance lifestyle facilitation by understanding the human needs and desires we all share.
Many hands-on practical ways to apply each of the 7Cs are described, with recommendations for helpful resources and websites for both students and professional development of staff.
Individual chapters are used to explore each of the Cs; detailing how we prove we Care, use effective 2-way Communication techniques, improve Connections with other people both within and outside the facility, maximise resident Control over their lifestyle, provide options for Challenge and Creativity and offer personally relevant opportunities to make a Contribution.
Further chapters focus on other important aspects of this role, including essential information for the new lifestyle worker, professional aspects of facilitating groups and one-on-one sessions, understanding resident behaviours and ways to avoid the emotional stress of the role.
Legislation for restrictive practices and notes on Serious Incident Reporting have been updated for this second edition.
This book relates to residents both with and without a diagnosis of dementia.
The author combines her experience as a Medical Scientist, Diversional Therapist and teacher in writing this book.
