- Abstract
After sustaining a brain injury, it is often difficult to find age-appropriate residential care for the individual. Hinds’ Feet Farm was created with the mission to maximize the potential of individuals post-brain injury through the use of integrated, unique, and holistic programs. This doctoral capstone project’s aim was to further develop the residential program at Hinds’ Feet Farm to increase the quality of life for the residential members. Challenges to maximizing quality of life that were identified included decreased member engagement throughout the day, decreased physical exercise, decreased social support, and residents experiencing feelings of decreased effort from the residential staff. These challenges were addressed through the creation of a weekend activity box for the residential homes and by providing education to the residential staff. Keywords: acquired brain injury, age-appropriate care, quality of life, residential, adult, program development
