Hi I work in adult day Program I have one client that he has Parkinson's Diesease any ideas for activities for him very hard lots of stuff he cannot do like playing cards crafts, he almost one on one and I'm alone with the other clients getting a bit frustrated Thanks Rita
Hi Rita, depending on the stage the client is, he may like to listen to Talking Books which you may borrow from your local library (find out what genre he likes). Also, find out what kind of music he likes and if not possible play Top 40s music from the time he was between 20 to 30 years old. Be aware that he may be very happy or very sad, and it is o.k. to be sad. If he cries he is releasing hidden emotions. Sit with him and hold his hand for a while.
I have only just found you and I have been overwhelmed by the content. A week ago, I was contemplating leaving my job because I was just running out of ideas and I was getting bored doing the same old things. Not now! Thank you!
