Getting to know you. !! Have the residents tell each other about their lives. Different topics every time. E.g What they did for work. Entertainment. Holidays. The list is endless.
A stroll down memory lane. In Ireland we have a magazine called Ireland's Own and each issue they have these 1 page stories called Just a Memory. They are excellent for getting conversation going among residents and there's no pressure to remember as the the story provided the prompt
Thank you so much for such an awesome resource and to everyone for sharing their ideas. It takes the pressure off and allows more time to be spent with the ones we are caring for who after all need our time more than anything else. I am looking forward to reading as much as I can get my hands on and finding ways to improve the lives of our valuable community members and bring some sunshine in. Much appreciated :)
Rolling back the years ... any more ideas please
Tell me about your favorite memories
