I have a lot of trouble getting my dementia residents to participate as a group, so I do my activities in smaller groups of 3 or 4 for about 15mins each that way they do not lose interest or get bored. Those who do not wish to join in at all I spent time 1:1 with them.
I have only just found you and I have been overwhelmed by the content. A week ago, I was contemplating leaving my job because I was just running out of ideas and I was getting bored doing the same old things. Not now! Thank you!
