@catherine.... I run pottery and card making classes each week but have found it is the same group of residents that take part.This week I tried taking activities around to smaller groups for half an hour at a time. Everyone this week took part in various things and said they prefered this way of doing it. What type of activities do you do with your dementia residents.... jan
I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)
