The program promotes a basic 'start small' approach that slowly builds up the strength and confidence of the resident through consistency and encouragement. Improving Function also discusses safety factors such as the caregivers being aware of each resident's potential restrictions, and gives indicators to stop exercise immediately if events such as chest pain, wheezing, nausea, or excessive sweating occur.

QUALITY INDICATOR: RESIDENT FUNCTION - THE NURSING ASSISTANT'S ROLE AS A CHEERLEADER AND PERSONAL TRAINER

Regular exercise provides major benefits in increasing self-confidence, and helping residents maintain their optimal level of functioning. However, many residents are reluctant to exercise because of fear of falling, existing medical conditions, pain, lack of interest, or simply feeling that 'I can't do it'. This program introduces how important nursing assistants can be in breaking down these barriers to help residents see how necessary exercise is to help them maintain their day-to-day independence, and overall well-being.

This program will equip caregivers with strategies to motivate residents who are reluctant to exercise by:

personallizing the approach to exercise based on the resident's capability

incorporating exercise in the daily routine of residents

becoming the residents ongoing personal trainer and 'cheerleader'

setting realistic goals that do not demand too much at the onset

performing the exercises with them An excellent program to remind caregivers that physical activity for residents is as much a part of daily quality care as feeding, bathing, and dressing.
