Description

Using the Minimum Data Set forms (MDS Version 2.0) as a basic tenet, this book integrates the theory and practice needed to upgrade any activities department and begin providing therapeutic recreation services. The first section explains leisure theory as it applies to a nursing home. The assessment process is explained in the second section, which provides an in-depth look at the new Farrington assessment. Next, the planning process is described with emphasis on activity adaptation and goal planning. In the fourth section, intervention and case study examples are provided. Sample documentation forms and quality assurance documents make up the final chapters of the book. With OBRA '87 regulations stating that nursing homes must provide programs that meet the physical, mental, psychosocial, and emotional needs of the residents as well as diversional activities programs, the information in this book is vital. No activities director or home administrator should be without this manual.
