Help identify unmet needs and help to meet them; 5. Attend the resident's care planning meetings and use the "who" and observations of unmet needs to help drive care; 6. Create and monitor use of the Music and Memory intervention; 7. Accompany the resident on walks (indoors and out of doors); 8. Identify preferences and engage the resident in individualized and small group activities; 9. Support participation in resident's preferred activities that enhance quality of life; 10. this could include, but need not be limited to, creative, recreational, spiritual and social activities; 11. Encourage residents to eat or take nourishments; and 12. Assist the staff development coordinator or OASIS trainer with "just-in-time" trainings on person-centered dementia care as able. 13.
