Preserving Familiar Habits
Activities can build on things residents previously enjoyed doing and help preserve a sense of continuity with life before moving to the home.
Activities that preserve familiar habits, encourage engagement and bring structure to everyday life.
Occupational therapy at Dom Zlatnik is tailored to each resident’s interests, abilities and habits, with the aim of keeping everyday life active, meaningful and as closely connected as possible to the way each resident lived before moving to the home.
Occupational therapy begins with what feels familiar, important and meaningful to each person — their habits, interests and activities that have long been part of everyday life.
The aim is not simply to fill the day with activities, but to help each resident remain engaged, active and connected with the things they enjoy. Activities are adapted to individual abilities and interests, while respecting each resident’s own pace and wishes.
Activities can build on things residents previously enjoyed doing and help preserve a sense of continuity with life before moving to the home.
Creative and practical activities encourage participation, interest and a more active approach to everyday life.
Taking part in everyday activities can help residents maintain a sense of personal value, independence and connection with the community.
Workshops are not simply a pleasant way to spend time — they offer an opportunity to express existing talents and sometimes to discover or develop new ones.
Activities are chosen according to each resident’s interests, abilities and wishes. The aim is for everyone to find something they enjoy and genuinely want to take part in, rather than offering the same programme to everyone.
Our workshops are not only enjoyable activities, but also an opportunity to express and even develop individual talents.
Creative workshops provide space for self-expression, exploring different techniques and developing individual interests.

Workshops provide space for residents to demonstrate their skills, develop their interests and enjoy the process of creating.
Residents are not simply observers of everyday life, but have opportunities to take part in activities they genuinely enjoy.
Shared activities provide natural opportunities for conversation, socialising and connecting with other residents.
The opportunity to make, demonstrate or share something with others can contribute to a sense of purpose and belonging.
Participation is never an obligation — activities are tailored to each resident’s wishes, interests and abilities.
