I am currently working on redoing our sensations program at our nursing home. We have several residents who have varies levels of dementia that would benefit greatly from this. I am looking for ideas of things we could use or do with these residents please.
Hi Amy, here are some sensory activities ideas for you to try: hot and cold drinks to share, Touch & Feel different fabric textures, sensory ‘toys’ – age and stage appropriate. You may also find some sensory activities on the link below. Good luck with the re-doing. Best wishes. https://www.goldencarers.com/search/?searchterm=sensory+games
Thank you for the resources provided on Golden Carers. I found them immensely valuable, relevant and worthwhile. Educational and updated information provided. Great activity ideas and suggestions. The activities presented are appropriate and can be adapted to different client groups in any English speaking country. It is easy to read and understand the instructions and explanations.
