Independence and personal hobbies are encouraged, an example is Mrs
Glover who has nesting boxes and cameras linked to her room so she can
pursue her bird-watching interest.
Greta Glover feared her life-long
interest in bird-spotting would have to end after a stroke
forced her to leave her home and affected her mobility.
However,
staff installed birdbaths
and feed boxes around Mrs Glovers window. Mrs Glover also helped the home devise
a system to place a camera inside the box and transmit
images to her TV set. Mirrors have been positioned around Mrs
Glover's window to allow greater visibility with her
binoculars and digital camera. She also has a laptop in her bedroom to
download her digital pictures. Now a second satellite camera is being
fixed at another bird box further away to provide other
images.
The
care team have worked hard to help residents improve their
quality of life:
"We want our residents to be as
independent as possible and so when we learned about Greta's
interest in birds we were determined to try to help her
continue her hobby. |
