| | Activities Department
The Activities Department at Hoopeston Regional Health Center offers residents the daily and special activities that address their needs and interests. Swing Bed patients are included in the activity programs.
Each resident is evaluated upon admission, and frequently thereafter, to insure that the activities offered and participate in meet his/her individual preferences and needs. Upon admission, the family is interviewed so that the staff can gain valuable insight into what activities the resident will enjoy and benefit from the most. In addition, the activities staff participates in the care plan conferences that are held monthly with other staff and the resident’s family member(s).
Special events are frequently scheduled that allow the residents to be away at times. A new van was purchased in 2007 which has increased the frequency of trips and in the number of residents who are able to participate in those trips because of its’ expanded seating.
Special internal activities are an important part of the facility’s activity program calendar. The staff has developed strong relationships with area schools, churches and social groups to allow for increased community participation in the activities that are offered.
The Activities Department works continually to provide new and exciting activities. The staff attends conferences and seminars to gain new ideas that can be offered to the residents. | |
