Staff Enablement of the Tovertafel for Enrichment in Residential Aged Care: Field Study
This study suggests that the Tovertafel provides opportunities for aged care staff to engage in creative play and personalization catering to residents with different capabilities. However, the benefits arising from the Tovertafel are unlikely to be achieved without substantial facilitation from the staff, who play a key role in enabling the participation of the residents. Sustaining the engagement of the residents is important during Tovertafel activities and can lead to beneficial outcomes.
