Good Morning Friends. I have a lovely gentleman in our Dementia Unit from Poland and he is an artist. I would love to do some Polish Culture with him. Does anyone have any ideas or experience in this area. I will ask his daughter who is very helpful too. Thanks again. Love the website.

Hi Sally

You could do some Polish paper cutting with him. There are some amazing images etc that are created through Polish papercutting and it doesn't require any specialised materials.

We also have a library that has Polish resources in it that you could access too library.mac.org.au

It's really wonderful to see our clients so engaged with the puzzles and word searches, the Trivia is really popular and our participants get a buzz out of getting the answers correct. Golden Carers is our "Go To" resource on a weekly basis and it is rewarding for our working day to add it to our activity programs.

I'm about to start a new job as an activity coordinator and one of my ladies loves the nine letter word puzzles in the newspaper so I thought I'd make her some.

Sort the Colours

I saved various coloured milk bottle tops until I had enough to use for this activity. Its great for visually impaired and dementia clients. The clients gain a sense of self esteem and satisfaction plus it helps with fine motor skills.

Whiteboard Word Quiz

We choose a letter of the alphabet and use that letter to try and get as many words as we can. We use different amounts of numbers each time eg 4 letter words starting B another time it might be 5 letter words starting with C.

I have been using your site constantly over the last few weeks as I was allocated a client with young on-set dementia. Your strategies, games and ideas have been brilliant. Thanks again!
