Di on Questions | 2nd April 2013 Hi, I have been given the task of compiling thank you cards/letters and photographs to be put together for visitors,families,friends and staff to browse through.. Has previously hap hazardly been put into photograph albums which is a convenient way of presenting them but I would like it to have a bit of pizazz to be of more interest any ideas please ??? |
|
Julie on Questions | 2nd April 2013 Hi all. Quick query - how often do you hold concerts/entertainers in your facility? Thanks |
|
Christina on Who wants to be a millionaire? | 1st April 2013 That is awesome. Quizzes are our most popular activity at our respite centre and I am always looking for a new way to use them. Mintyaire is a great idea. Thanks Cheryl-ann |
|
debbie on Brain Teaser | 1st April 2013 looks good I will try this at our day centre ...they love quizzes |
|
Julie on Monthly Activity Attendance | 1st April 2013 We currently use a monthly form, (by 80 residents) but I am thinking a daily form with each resident on that form would be more productive. It would use less paper, and you would be able to check off each activity daily as you go. Also good for viewing what activities are well attended or not. Opinions please welcome. |
|
Michelle on Alzheimer's Disease - 16 practical activites | 30th March 2013 Sounds great, will use in my group assignment on activities for Alzheimer's Disease. |
|
Janette on Fun Riddle II | 30th March 2013 Love the 'fun riddles' the residents have fun doing these. We discuss the various words along the way as well, very entertaining and stimulating. |
|
colleen on Ivy Wreaths for Remembrance/Anzac Day | 28th March 2013 Hi Suzy. you will usually find one or two people will find it too upsetting, i have one in my facility and we let him know that we are preparing the Anzac day activity so he can choose not to be there, he also chooses not to attend the service, others love it and do have a cry with the memories it brings but they wouldn't have it any other way, just find something else for those dementia clients to do that do have trouble with it. |
