| Annotation | Co-ordinated activities are gradually becoming an integral part of nursing and residential care home life. The author outlines findings from NAPA's recent examination of attitudes and practice related to the provision of activity in care homes; the survey was completed by nearly 400 homes. She states the case for taking activity seriously and argues that we still have a long way to go with such provision. The NAPA website has a range of resources which can be downloaded, as well as a summary of the survey under discussion, "Activity and wellbeing in care settings - a national survey of care homes attitudes and practice in regard to activity provision": (www.napa-activities.co.uk). (KJ/RH). |
