Recreation Program Planning Manual for Older Adults

By Karen Kindrachuk

This manual of program plans is designed to increase direct patient/client care time by providing a selection of programs with a proven track record. All plans were developed and initially implemented with older adults in a long-term care setting. The content of each plan can be applied to any age group. These plans are designed so that recreation facilitators can implement these programs with ease and meet therapeutic needs safely. Each plan has easy-to-read headings that provide quick reference to the concepts behind the plan, preparation, and implementation, as well as specific adaptations the author has tested. General guidelines for each plan are presented, including activity preparation, implementation, modifications, and safety concerns. There is also a Tips and Tricks section that shares budgetary and manpower secrets.
