Seaside photography

We took a small group of residents living with Dementia to the seaside and gave them disposable cameras and asked them to take pictures of things that make the seaside special. We got them developed and we often look at them and discuss the day out.

Activities What's New

I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
