A modified form of "milestoning"-group-oriented positive reminiscence-is explored creatively in a nursing home setting with elderly clients. Specific challenges dealing with depressed, withdrawn, unsociable, or isolated individuals are discussed. An exploratory discussion group of nine members utilized creative sensory activities (seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, feeling and some "remember when" exercises) to encourage socialization skills and interaction among a sedentary group. A variety of visual aids with specific goals over 12 sessions were utilized. Findings indicate the milestoning technique is particularly effective with the cognitively impaired who may not be able to participate in life review reminiscence due to an inability to process and/or develop resolution. Implications suggest this technique may be beneficial for those doing group work with the elderly whose cognizance may fluctuate. The opportunity to focus on a given topic through sensory stimulation may provide positive and rewarding interactive experiences for participants. |
