Activity Instructions

There are many reasons why family or friends are not able to come in to visit as frequently as they would like. It is important for participants to feel connected to their loved ones especially when they are separated. 

1. Ask for participant consent to take a picture or video to send to their loved ones

2. Set up recording device and press record.

3. Ask prompting questions such as:

What would you like to say to your loved one? 

How are you doing?

What keeps you busy during the day? 

Who would you like to say hello to?

What is your favourite activity to do here?

Activity Instruction Adaptations

• Alternatively, a picture can be taken and the facilitator can ask the questions and write down the answers.
