Kaitlin’s unique approach to therapeutic activity with older adults is based on her enthusiasm and patience. She understands that this chapter in life can be intimidating. By showing up and engaging with clients, she knows she can make the connection necessary to create and implement meaningful activities that promote quality of life for each client. The majority of Kaitlin’s past work experience has been focused on youth, but she’s excited to be working with older adults today. She believes if you can get anyone engaged, you can make a difference. Kaitlin has personal experience with memory care clients as her grandfather was diagnosed with dementia. She has seen firsthand the importance of activities and socialization and wishes her grandfather had more opportunities. Activities Kaitlin is most looking forward to experiencing with clients include scrapbooking, listening to music, and mediation.
