Description
I currently have the privilege of volunteering at the Lodge at Bethany which is a residential care facility for older adults where they offer traditional care and dementia care. They strive to create a loving and comfortable environment for their residents along with offering countless activities to participate in. While volunteering I facilitate activities and socialize with the residents. I have had the opportunity to get to know the residents and observe psychology terms and apply them. Thus far, I have seen examples of psychological concepts including; activities of daily living, dementia, intrinsic motivation, and cognitive reserve hypothesis. Overall, I have gained an improved ability to recognize psychological concepts in real life settings. The primary course objective for my senior seminar class is to allow senior level psychology majors the opportunity to display their ability to recognize and apply previously learned psychological concepts.
