Check with you colleges for guest speakers who might come out for free or low cost. I have one lady who speaks once a month and she charges $75. Contact the local Alzheimer's Association to see if they can come once a month and do a talk - maybe include family members.

Spring has Sprung

This is an art and craft activity I have been doing with residents. They really enjoyed playing with colours and listening to some relaxing music from 50s.
