What impact can the arts have on residents in care home settings?
Caroline D’Souza, Creative Arts Development Manager at Jewish Care, explores how arts-based activities can be incorporated into care home settings, and what some of the impacts can be on the residents.
In this interview, you will:
-
Hear how one care home group, Jewish Care, went about improving the quality of activities for its residents.
-
Learn how participatory arts-based activities can be more beneficial to its residents than those that that are provided in the form of passive entertainment.
-
Hear about what some of the outcomes have been for residents as a result of participating in arts-based activities, and how these can vary from person to person.
-
Be introduced to the idea that outcomes are not always measureable, but often noticeable.
