Sensory stimulation is always a good idea you can have a group of residents sitting at the table but address each person individually and you could have things for people to do if they if you are not working with them Such as coloring activities of daily living or work related activities such as folding towels or other things Here are some ideas and goals and Carers https://www.goldencarers.com/sensory-stimulation-for-dementia-care/4184/
I find the fundraising the biggest challenge. I think there should always be a budget. Activities co ordinator jobs are hard without the fundraising side.does anyone agree
So glad I found you, your site is such a blessing to me 😊. I have been a PCA for 17 yrs. I am in charge of making up the monthly calendar and coming up with new ideas. It was starting to be a real challenge. I encourage all my residents to join in daily but they need new things offered to hold their interest. So glad I took a chance and signed up with you!!! You're making my job a lot easier. Thank you and keep up the great work !! It's so appreciated.
