A colleague referred this resource to support the development of our activities program many years ago, and I felt I had struck “gold.” It has been invaluable in providing new material and ideas to stimulate our clients. I will be a member for my working life. Thank you!

I am a brand new activity director at a brand new facility opening next month! I am so over the moon excited! One of the things that I'd like to plan is a shadow box event for the residents in the memory unit. Each of their apartments has built in recessed shadow boxes next to the entrance to their units. I'd like to have family and residents work together in a group setting with supplies etc. to create their entry box creations. My idea is to invite them to bring photos, mementos, etc... do you have any direction, ideas, photos, experiences you could share? Thank you so much! I am thrilled to have found this fantastic resource!
Hi Brinn, excellent idea for a group activity. Apart from photos and mementos, you could inspire them to do themed activities with Christmas coming up. Check these couple of links for ideas.https://www.goldencarers.com/mixed-media-collages-for-the-elderly/4715/

Congratulations on your new role
Hi Brian, congratulations! I love that you are already planning to involve the family in your activities, it's so important! Looking at photos and memorabilia of the residents is a personal favorite and I wrote out an activity we've done on our unit https://www.goldencarers.com/reminiscing-how-to-create-a-memory-board/5484/. Again, congrats!
