Summarize this article in one sentence.
There should be a variety of ways that residents in a residential care facility can interact with each other of their own accord. For instance, meals are a key time when a resident can interact with others and form independent relationships with others. Additionally, having areas in the facility where people can watch TV, read, or simply sit together can give people an opening for social interaction. Some people in residential care may need help getting to an area where they can interact with others. However, it is typically worth the effort to get them there if they have the opportunity to interact with others. When someone moves into a residential care center, it can be hard for them to keep long-standing relationships going. However, providing transportation to visits with old friends and encouraging guests in the facility can go a long way towards the resident maintaining the relationships they have with other people. If a resident is bedridden or unable to leave their room, they can still interact with others out in the world. Investigate types of technology that can help them get some interaction with others, such as a computer or tablet with connection to the internet. It may be necessary to provide the resident with training on the technology you are providing. Make sure they know how to use it proficiently so they can use it even when you are not around.
Encourage social interaction. Make maintaining relationships as easy as possible. Provide access to technology that enables interaction.
