Hi Marina... I always like to play music that a resident has liked throughout their life in their rooms when they reach the end stage. It creates a peaceful atmosphere for them & for family. If they have expressed no interest in music something quiet & peaceful played is always lovely. If a resident is religious, by all means pray with them, even if they are not responsive I beleive they can hear you. Essential oils used in a diffuser are wonderful as well as gentle massage using oils, it makes the room smell fresher & is very relaxing. Read stories to them or even just talk to them, about the wonderful achievements of their life. These are all things I have done & documented. Hope this helps a little...
