Hi everyone! First of all I would like to say thank you for the tips and information, and of course all the great ideas given!!! I work in a nursery home as a psychologist. I'm trying to find an article, booklet,...any useful and clear information that could help a caregiver to understand dementia better (how to cope with his relative's behaviour problems, how to take care of himself,...). Thanx a lot! Shaila
I co-own and operate a small assisted living home in Pittsfield, NH (U.S.A.). We consistently seek ways to improve upon our senior activity program, providing a diversified balance of a purposeful and enjoyable time of recreation, crafting, exercise and others to reach all of our residents. I must say, it's been a challenge. This past October I began researching options online and came across your site, subscribing for a year to see what you were all about. Let me tell you, you have not disappointed! Your site is a priceless resource that we are extremely thankful for. We find a significant increase in resident participation and look forward to the new ideas that each month brings. Our residents love the changes!
Thanx a lot!
