Back to the Basics: A Renewed Focus on Resident Engagement and The Benefits of Art-Based Engagement Programs in the Senior Living Communities
Current advancements in art, music, and memory care have highlighted the therapeutic benefits of arts-based interventions on the human brain and psyche, particularly in senior living facility settings. With baby boomers challenging all traditional stereotypes of senior living, operators able to demonstrate innovative high quality, holistic, patient-centred care, with increased resident engagement and participation at the heart of that strategy will win. With wellness now firmly cemented as a top priority across all walks of life, the LTC setting is no different. Creating a vibrant, interactive environment, calls for a re-examination of what engagement and care coordination truly means and how to get there.
