The occupation of having morning tea was chosen as this
was a daily occurrence at the rest home on my first placement. The residents
enjoyed morning tea as it was a good time to socialise, have fun and plan out
the day’s activities. Morning tea always occurred at ten am as this was the
time when all the residents were up and been through their morning routines
such as self cares. Morning tea was important as it indicated that an activity
session was going to start afterwards.
Doing- “The concept of doing indicates purposeful,
goal-oriented activities; doing has been the traditional preoccupation of
occupational therapy”
Being- “Being has been defined as time taken to reflect,
be introspective or meditative, (re)discover the self, savour the moment... and
to enjoy being with special people”
Become- “Becoming describes the idea that people can envision future
selves and possible lives, explore new opportunities and harbour ideas ...how
their lives might be experienced as worthwhile”
Belong- “Belonging, within a network of social support can underpin both
the ability to do and contribute to the pleasure and meaningfulness of doing”
