Had an awesome insight day shadowing a fellow OTA in the Older Adult Community Team. Even got to say hello to an old patient discharged from my ward 😊✌️

Finally able to plant our little Fruit & Veggie patch at Brant Ward! I had help from Nat (OT inpatient M/H acute stepdown & rehab) 🥰 it's so important to have a green space to bring nature into your everyday life since it can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing 🌿

Had a lovely surprise Nat (OT inpatient M/H acute stepdown & rehab) as it was her last day of placement, not going to lie i had to hold back a few tears! I thought having her watch my chaotic way of working would have her running for the hills but feel like i have made a friend 🥰 all the best on your journey 😘

2nd Emotional day during Music & Mood group. A gentleman who does not engage, suddenly started joining in belting out Elvis. This is an activity he used to do for 17years, the smile on his face is what makes it worth it 🥰 i also attempted to waltz.... 😬😂
