Although the vast majority of nursing home residents are 85 years old and over, recent advances in the medical treatment of traumatic brain injuries and other previous fatal illnesses have contributed to an increase of younger individuals being admitted to nursing homes. Younger individuals living in long-term care have differing needs from older adults because they seek control and flexibility with emphasis on living a productive and meaningful life. Younger residents report feeling "out of place" and without any age-appropriate services to utilize. Very little research has been done on the activities offered to younger residents in skilled nursing facilities. The purpose of this study was to explore the use of positive psychology activities with residents aged 45--79 living in a skilled nursing facility. Participants found the positive psychology group activities to be enjoyable and helpful for maintaining positive emotions. Participants found forgiveness and humor were found to be overall most helpful. This study provides some preliminary support for the use of positive psychology activities with younger residents in skilled nursing facilities to enrich the residents' well-being.
