sue 24-11-14 Nurture therapy is a wonderful way to encourage caring interaction in a person, male or female. careful observation of the individual will determine suitability, family and friends can give the staff valuable insight as to the suitability. There are many and varied interactive "babies" to choose from.
Sue 8-7-14 I am an aged daycare co ordinator and am having the same issues with clients using the kitchen. We should stop paying lip service to the "enablement" philosophy and respect each persons right to be as vital and viable as possible. Even those who are seriously affected by dementia can remember how to use a tea towel, this activity often leads to conversations about their lives and experiences. Supervision rather than restriction should be the aim. Let "us" be loved and valued for who we are and not restricted because of the perception of others.
Thank you for creating this website for Activity and Life Enrichment teams! It has been a great year with all of the ideas and help you have provided for our facility here in California. Much gratitude to all of the Golden Carers staff!
