Frank’s Story

By Chris Leave a Comment

Frank sat there staring at me, without moving, during our one hour Chair Chi session. He didn’t participate. Just stared at me. Frank sat there staring at me, without moving, during our one hour Chair Chi session. He didn’t participate. Just stared at me.

And that happens occasionally when I work with a group of residents. If it does, I simply continue on, hoping the person will join in eventually.

Well … after I finished this session and was about to leave, a lifestyle staff member came up to me and said, ‘That was terrific, Frank never stays for activities’.

After thanking her for the compliment, I walked towards the corridor where two of Frank’s relatives introduced themselves. They also thanked me saying, ‘Frank watched you the whole time and listened to everything you said.’

From what I gathered that’s something Frank rarely does during activities.

It certainly feels good being complimented about the work I do in aged care. And the feedback I received for this session reinforced my belief that even if a resident is not physically participating, I can still be making a connection!
