A longitudinal quasi-experimental study with two comparison groups was conducted to test the effects of a Green House (GH®) nursing home program on residents’ fam ily members. The GH®s are individual res idences, each serving 10 elders, where certified nursing assistant (CNA)-level res ident assistants form primary relationships with residents and family, family is encour aged to visits, and professionals adapted their roles to support the model. GH® fam ily were somewhat less involved in providing assistance to their residents although family contact did not differ among the settings at any time period.

This essay is issued with the generous permission of the author and NAI Publishers http://www. naipublishers. nl/architecture. html For a patient, visitor, or member of staff, spending long hours in a hospital can be a stressful experience. Nearby access to natural landscape or a garden can enhance people’s ability to deal with stress and thus potentially improve health outcomes. In past centuries, green nature, sunlight and fresh air were seen as essential components of healing in settings ranging from medieval monastic infirmaries; to large municipal hospitals of the 17th and 18th centuries; to pavilion-style hospitals, asylums and sanitor

Outline for Friday, September 18, 2009 Session Confirmation #22284 Title: Rehabilitation in the Garden: Developing the Garden as a Tool to Achieve Functional Therapeutic Outcomes Marketing Statement: Tour some urban healing gardens in healthcare and senior living environments and examine how they work and what changes might help improve outcomes. Learn how therapists and activity professionals work and about specific garden elements to support clinical applications and the intended therapeutic outcomes. Summary: Well-designed gardens provide functional, home-like settings for inpatient and outpatient therapies and resident activity programs. The relationship between the physical design of the therapeutic garden and the rehabilitation programming is critical. While designing the garden landscape architect’s need to understand the type of therapy/program goals. The elements included in the therapeutic garden can assist in achieving these therapy and activity goals. Landscape archit

FS 10-33 1 RAISED BEDS CAN MAKE GARDENING EASIER Angela O’Callaghan, Area Extension Specialist, Social Horticulture Southern Area Introduction In places where soils are difficult to work, or are generally infertile, gardening in raised beds can solve a number of problems. Growing plants in a raised bed allows a gardener to control the type and fertility of the soil or mix, which improves the likelihood that plants will thrive and produce higher yields (Fig. 1). Because a raised bed has a smaller area to be kept moist, gardening in one can limit water waste. In addition, the bed can be raised to a level that is most comfortable for the gardener. No matter what environment, raised beds can be useful. Figure 1. A raised bed permits a gardener to grow plants that might otherwise struggle to survive. What is a raised bed? Many kinds of planting beds can be considered “raised. ” It can be as simple as an area where enough amendments have been added so that the le

HORTICULTURAL THERAPY Cultivating Health and Harmony at the Riverview Nursing Home Rich Creek, Virginia By Mitchell L. Hewson HTM LT RAHP Riverview is motivating and inspiring the residents, staff and volunteers with their Horticultural Therapy programs. Administrator Jim Topping, who was instrumental in completing the expansion of the facility over the last ten years, has championed yet another cause: implementing Horticultural Therapy programs to enrich residents’ lives with meaningful activities and provide a sense of empowerment. Jim contacted Dr. Diane Relf at Virginia Tech regarding information on healing through nature. He then collaborated with Mitchell Hewson, a registered Canadian horticultural therapist, who began Horticultural Therapy training classes and workshops at Riverview in September 2007. They have never looked back: Jim’s vision was now becoming a reality for Riverview. Indoor plants and outdoor gardens have become an integral part of the residents’ lives, p
