N2  - Leisure/Recreation interests and needs do not change much as a person grows older, or as a person becomes hospitalized. Certainly opportunities do change as internal and external limitations are imposed. Patients' interests and needs are going to be highly individualized, just as our own are. For this reason, variety and flexibility need to be built into the environment. Nonetheless, the major factor in providing sensitive human care continues to be the personnel providing that care. A management philosophy which nourishes an interdisciplinary model and one which supports quality of life, as well as extension of years, will be essential in any setting.<p />
