Provide Choice When You Can

Contributed By: Caregiver


I like to give our residents a choice whenever possible, appropriate and safe. First of all, most people (of all ages) desire to have a level of control in their daily life. In addition, making decisions can build a one's self-esteem and confidence, while challenging the brain to sharpen critical functions, such as reasoning, concentration, judgment and memory. Oh, and it's a kind thing to do, too.
