I can’t rate this site highly enough. The activities and ideas are fantastic, varied, and very relevant to our service. I log on every morning to see what’s new, and I’m always printing and using your materials. Honestly, it’s the best site I know for providing activities for older people.

Hi
Studying atm and one of the questions asks;
Care workers should have a detailed knowledge of the ways in which a variety of leisure and health activities can be facilitated. List six different types of leisure and recreation activity in which clients with complex needs might participate. Take into consideration a range of activities that would require different facilitation methods.
The first activity that comes to mind is 1:1 visits
The Carer providing this can adapt the activity to meet the needs of the resident

You can do an activity that the resident used to enjoy with a facilitator to help them this person would do things that the resident cannot do anymore
Such as speak for the resident if he could not speak

You need to assess the needs of the person make the activities most meaningful
