“…As baby boomers age and are admitted to SNFs with unique characteristics and needs, recreation therapy (RT) offers services to fulfill the need for purpose, skill development, identify fulfillment, and holistic health outcomes through individualized, innovative programming. This incoming generation often exhibits goal-directed, competitive, and work-centric characteristics, signaling a need for leisure opportunities that offer opportunities for challenge, purpose, and cognitive stimulation (Cochran, Rothschadl, & Rudick, 2009). Thus, long-term care facilities should not maintain a static model, but, rather, should constantly evolve to become more responsive to the preferences of older adults and to promote healthy aging through influencing social, lifestyle, and environmental factors (Knickman & Snell, 2002).…”

The purpose of this pilot study was to measure the impact of an adaptive sports intervention on several outcomes including the components of self-determination (i.e., autonomy, competence, relatedness), loneliness, and mobility for residents of a skilled nursing facility (SNFs). This study employed a physician-prescribed, 4-week adaptive sports intervention specifically adapted for the residents of a SNF. The program was administered by Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists® (CTRS), and facilitated six participants in weekly practice (basketball, baseball, golf, shuffleboard) and competition against residents in other local facilities. This mixed-methods study employed pre-test/post-test outcome evaluation using the UCLA Loneliness Scale, Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale (BPNSS) (competence, autonomy, relatedness), Timed Up and Go Test, as well as structured qualitative interviews. Results of this study showed improvements for all participants across most or all cognitive, physical, emotional, and/or social domains and all measures showed positive movement. Results also suggested improvements in identity, belonging, importance, and the potential for transfer of these benefits to greater

As the Baby Boomers turn 65, there will be two cohorts of older adults with potentially different perspectives and expectations toward recreation and leisure. Because society demands the use of technology, recreation providers are challenged to fulfill the needs of two different cohorts that share the age of retirement. This study describes how Boomers and seniors utilize technology within a master-planned senior living community setting. Boomers report being more engaged with technology to remain socially connected with friends and family, especially female Boomers. Seniors are utilizing technology, but less frequently, especially Senior females. Recommendations for recreation professionals are provided.
