I work in a secure dementia wing and I do the residents nails as an activity. A lot of my clients have challenging behaviours and it is easier for me to do it, and I turn it into a pamper session, with a hand massage to finish. It is a good time for one on one time to chat with the residents. I am a registered D.T.
I really love your website. I still find it incredulous that this site exists. I know how hard it must be for our Lifestyle teams to keep coming up with ideas and activities and to now have found this site - WOW. I really do think it says a lot about the immense value of community collaboration - because this site is about that! so I am immensely proud that people, especially older people, may be benefitting from this wonderful resource all over the world.
