Hi Angie! One great alternative is having pram or stroller with baby dolls inside. This helps residents with Dementia, preoccupied. At times, they would also hold the dolls (specially ones that talks or make sounds) bringing back their nurturing behavior. Of course, monitoring is always required.
We really enjoyed ourselves!! This web-site is the BEST. I have set aside the other resources at my facility since I discovered Golden Cares. I am so thankful for all the work that has gone into this site. It makes my life as a recreation coordinator enjoyable. Thank you
