Doing Buddy Reading with kindergarten children just across the road from our facility gave our residents a deep sense of purpose even to our dementia resident. At the end of the school year, the children and school gave a "thank you assembly" for our residents.

This is so true....I am so struck with every bit of the line in this article . Extremely useful to us who deals with a lot of aged people under our care.

A very informative article. Thank you for sharing. Another way of decreasing problem behaviour is ball room dancing. I find this very effective where everyone loves to sing and dance especially their old favourite music.
I was hesitant at first to sign up for another website for activities, but I have been pleasantly surprised. It has been fun to search all you have to offer and during Covid-19 your site has helped me and our other Life Enrichment Coordinator so much. I truly appreciate all you do and provide. It just gets better all the time. Our residents love the word searches because they are so bold and clear. We have used many of your ideas and I’m so grateful! Thank you!
