Develоping аnd Leаding Grоups Step 2 The OT decides tо conduct а focus group with members who are candidates for the proposed group. This will allow them to gather more information about use of the senior center, current medical and occupational needs, and leisure participation. The members interviewed for this group currently visit the senior center 1 or 2 days a week and have ongoing medical difficulties, which include various levels of dementia, arthritis, diabetes, and history of stroke. One person has been receiving chemotherapy for cancer, and some members are showing signs of depression. Ages range from 70 to over 90 years of age. Physically, they demonstrate various levels of ambulatory ability: some use walkers or canes, have visual or hearing deficits, have difficulties in motor coordination and strength, with limited range of motion in their upper extremities, including their hands. All presented as oriented to time, place, and person. The focus group consists of a mix of genders, with educational backgrounds ranging from elementary school to graduate education. Most of their leisure pursuits are solitary and quiet/passive, including watching television; reading; doing crossword or word search puzzles (large print); handicrafts such as needlepoint, cross stitching, or crocheting; or card games (alone or with family members). During the focus group, all members expressed willingness to participate in the proposed group, though few were enthusiastic about the opportunity. Two members appeared withdrawn at the time of the interview, and an accompanying relative gave most of the information for one of them. One member was having trouble with her hearing aid. Others appeared reluctant to initiate conversation, although they politely answered all questions asked.
Develоping аnd Leаding Grоups Step 1 There is аn interest in develоping a group at a community center for senior citizens in a suburban neighborhood. Members of the center are local residents who come to the center from their homes. The director of the center has contracted with an OT to design and plan the group. It has not yet been determined who will lead the group. Some members of the center live independently; others live in the home of a relative. Roles include family members (grandparent, parent, sibling, aunt/uncle), friend, and community member. All are retired and on fixed incomes. Information regarding use of leisure time and interests is vague. Family members reported the need to instigate most leisure activities and outings. Members are either at risk of or experience social isolation. Members manifest various levels of decreased role performance and social participation as well as decreased ability and competence in motor, process, and social interaction skills. Members’ self-care ability ranges from independent to partially dependent on assistance. Home health aides, relatives, and/or household help assist with bathing, dressing, or other personal needs (toileting medication management) and home maintenance. Meals are delivered to some members, and others eat with their families. Transportation to the center is provided by friends, relatives, and occasionally by taxi or minibus. Members arrive at the center between 9 and 10 AM. Some have tea or coffee, which is provided for them by the center volunteers, but few participate in center activities. The senior center is funded by grant money, city funding, and private funds. There is a board of directors that oversees center administration. The center director makes policy and administrative decisions in conjunction with the board and is directly responsible for the program and staff supervision. The center director negotiated with the board for the funds to engage the OT as a consultant, and has arranged for the funds to keep the OT on after the group is developed if needed. The center also employs a wellness director and has a dedicated group of volunteers who help the wellness director lead group activities as well as assist in the day-to-day functions of the center. The senior center is a modern, two-story building with a large recreation room, kitchen and eating area, and meeting rooms on the first floor. Offices and additional meeting rooms are located on the second floor. There is a large parking lot in the back that provides direct ground-level entrance. The recreation room contains supply cupboards, a sink, and a large rectangular table. The room is well-lit with a row of windows on one wall. The room is easily accessible for walkers, wheelchairs, and so on. There are more private rooms available as well. Materials are available in the cupboard, and special purchases may be approved on an as-needed basis. The general climate at the center is friendly and warm. Members support one another. The center’s objective is to help members to remain as independent as possible, living in their home environment if that is where they are happiest, and their quality of life is maximized.
