Geriatric Rehabilitation: Elderly Clients' Experiences of a Pre-discharge Occupational Therapy Group Programme.

This study describes how elderly people, temporarily living in a pre-discharge community rehabilitation centre, may experience participation in an in-patient occupational therapy programme built around group activities. The group activity programme was comprised of five sessions, each focusing on a theme chosen to encourage reflection and mutual sharing of experiences and support. Data were collected through interviews with each of the three participants immediately after each of the five group sessions.
