In many nursing homes for seniors and day service, "recreation" is being held to encourage elderly people to enjoy and enjoy exchange.
However, have you ever thought "What is this recreation doing for?" At first glance, it seems just like being playing, there are people who think that "I want this time to be used for rehabilitation", "I want you to slow down as your physical strength is falling".
However, it plays an important role in this recreation, especially in the elderly home. This time, I will dig down the recreation of the nursing home.
First, recreation that moves the body . Balloon valleys that make balloons not to be dropped, and fruit baskets where people who apply to demon issuing conditions move seats are the main things to do, but there are things that can be done by one person such as a beanbag.
Next, recreation using your head . Board games such as Othello and Shogi and quizzes and riddles. Even those who do not pay much for physical freedom can enjoy it.
And recreation of the kind that uses fingertips . Origami, coloring books, handicrafts, etc. It is a game familiar to the elderly when it is small. It tends to be favored by women than men. It is also possible to give gifts to family members.
Finally, recreation with music . There are also karaoke singing Showa famous songs, kids' songs of chorus and recitation. Depending on facilities, throat boast meetings and plays of simple instruments are also done.
In this way, the facility prepares various kinds of recreation so that all users can enjoy it.
But, for what purpose, do recreation?
First of all, it is said that you can activate your brain by playing with a head such as a quiz or playing with a fingertip such as origami, to prevent dementia or halt its progress .
Also, not only the brain but also the effect of maintaining the health of the body can be expected for recreation. Although the physical function is weakening how much, if you do not move the body at all, your muscular strength will wane. In this way, the fact that the physical function declines further due to excessive rest is called waste syndrome. That is why "phenomena such as" ADL (daily living behavior) has declined when hospitalization occurs due to fracture and comes out of the hospital "occurs.
Light exercise and recreational brain training in recreation stop the decline of brain function and physical function of elderly people.
The elderly who moved to the elderly home has been isolated from families who have lived together until then and the area where they lived. Even if you enter the old man's home, you can not feel comfortable with the surroundings, and a lot of people feel loneliness.
It is recreation in the nursing home that makes such a person interact with the surrounding residents and again to know the enjoyment of social activities . Rather, for those who tend to withdraw until then, the nursing home is an opportunity to interact with a lot of colleagues. Some people started to show facial expression more vivid than ever while entering the facility and making recreation.
However, while there are benefits like this, there are also points of concern to families. That senior citizens may be reluctant to recreate.
In recreation, as I mentioned earlier, we do origami and chorus, but it feels like "kindergarten" and some people hurt their pride . Even if you get dementia, self-esteem does not go away, some people actually dislike day service by feeling resistance to recreation.
In addition, since the degree of care required for each person entering the elderly home is different, recreation of appropriate degree of difficulty for some people seems to be very easy and stupid for other people, or It is too difficult to lose motivation.
When visiting the facility, you should also check the recreation, and let the elderly person check the blatantly disgusting face.
Nursing home is not a hospital. As the name "home" shows, it is also the second "home", where tenants who share a sleepover are "family members" .
Recreation is an important opportunity to connect such people. Perhaps the elderly themselves and their families may feel "childish", but how do you favorably grasp this effort to revitalize the brain and physical functions and improve the quality of life?
