Challenge

The Forum Health Care Center strives to engage residents in a variety of activities that spark deeper conversations. Regardless of the cognitive and physical limitations of residents, the Forum staff works to provide opportunities for them to pursue their hobbies and connect with favorite pastimes or memories  

Solution

For more than eight years the Forum Health Care Center at Rancho San Antonio has utilized the engagement technology of iN2L to draw out residents’ interests and facilitate deeper, more meaningful connections between both residents and staff.     

We at Forum strive to conduct every activity with purpose, encouraging engagement and interest in a diverse range of activities. iN2L is a tool to aid in creating engaging, meaningful, and creative activities for residents. Having access to a variety of activities on a single platform has allowed the Forum activities staff to efficiently cater to residents both in a group and individual setting. The choices and accessibility of music, videos, and games have exceeded resident satisfaction. The iN2L platform also makes technology accessible to residents who may not be familiar with newer devices. Overall, using iN2L has increased the level of care and efficiency in our community.
