The document discusses how the author chose to use art and craft groups at their fieldwork placement in an assisted living facility. It states that art and craft occupations are important for residents as they provide meaningful engagement, encourage social interaction, and foster creativity. The occupations help residents feel capable, provide a sense of purpose and self-worth, and allow introspection and appreciation of their environment.
