Caring
Population: Older Adults Residing in Retirement/Nursing Homes
Negative Interventions
In a situation like the pandemic caused by COVID-19, residents may lose touch with the ones that they love most.
This can cause serious separation issues that can lead to conditions such as anxiety or depression.
Residents may experience lack of independence from old age, blindness, deafness, loss of mobility, etc.
This can cause residents to experience feelings of distraught or sadness. Sometimes, residents may try and take part in actions that they used to be able to do in order to help themselves feel as if they are more independent.
Staff members (usually) have keys to the residents apartment in case of emergency or in order to care for them.
Although this can be a good thing, if there are staff members who work there with bad intentions, the residents can be taken advantage of.
Residents may come across staff members or other residents who are rude/violent/disrespectful.
Depending on the situation, residents can be taken advantage of, abused, or be driven away from the facility.
Some residents may have difficulty getting in contact or seeing their loved ones due to busy schedules or distance.
They will experience feelings of sadness, loneliness, and could possibly suffer from separation anxiety/depression.
Positive Interventions

In a typical nursing or retirement home, certain residents who need help with daily activities will have someone there to help them, like a caregiver.
Nurses or aids are always on site 24/7 in order to assist in cases of emergency.
In cases of emergency, help is always nearby.
Residents get to meet new people as they move in and out of the facility.
Older adults are always moving in and/or out of nursing or retirement homes. This can allow for residents to get to know new people from time to time and create friendships.
The residents are able to participate in activities with their peers and staff members.
This can help (new) residents to establish friendships, create fun memories, and get up and moving.
Needs like medication, therapy, and food are taken care of for these residents.
Residents who have difficulty remembering things like taking their medication or eating meals will have assistance so they don't forget.
