Chair Chi Statistics: The Big Eight
I was going through my notes on the Chair Chi sessions I’ve run for residents in aged care centres here in Melbourne (outer eastern suburbs) and discovered some interesting statistics.
- First session: August 2012
- Total sessions: 72 (includes 3 presentations)
- Aged care centres: 20
- Oldest resident: 104 (almost 105)
- Oldest group: 1543 years (1 x 103-year-old & 16 x 90-year-olds)
- Oldest Husband and Wife: 98 and 94 years-old (married for 74 years)
- Regular bookings: 12 aged care centres
- Work with low care and high care residents
I’m currently working on new workshops for residents, a staff development program and a conference/meetings presentation which hopefully will add to the statistics above and to the enjoyment of working in the aged care sector.
Chair Chi: Two Smiles – Yes!
She joined our Chair Chi exercise session circle after it started and said, ‘I’ll just watch’, sat down, crossed her feet, folded her arms and just stared at me.
All I said was, ‘you are welcome to join in’ and continued on teaching the other aged care residents.
I cracked a joke, which I sometimes do, and she cracked a smile with the other residents. After she smiled she started to make a small effort to participate which was encouraging.
