visiting techniques

 
 


introduction

 
  

This booklet is provided to help make visiting a little easier, and perhaps more rewarding for you and the resident. We encourage you to try out the different suggestions outlined here. Some will work and some won't, but we hope the booklet will help your visits become a positive experience.

A person who develops significant physical or memory changes is sometimes places in a care facility. If you are reading this booklet, it is likely that one of your family members or dear friends is in that situation.

It is not uncommon for people in your position to find it difficult and awkward to visit your loved ones. You may not know what to say or do in these changedVisiting circumstances. But visits with family members and old friends are very important for care facility residents. It is the longstanding relationships in life ~ the ones that connect residents to the past ~ that are important in maintaining the meaning and quality of the resident's life.
