Remember that the care facility is home to the older adults and you should respect their privacy and living space as much as possible. When you’re entering a room, even if the door is open, knock first.
One-on-one visits will vary. You may find residents in the lobby, hallway, gar community room, or their individual rooms. Start a conversation by introducing yourself: “Hello. My name is… Would you like me to visit with you today?” Almost everyone will say yes. Your interaction will be short or long depending on the person. Even a few minutes can brighten a resident’s day.
