Good day
Please can you give me an idea how to make a FIDDLE board for a dementia patient who loves mechanical things, I am thinking of screws, hooks, things he could 'play with'. Things which would be safe for him and others. All ideas welcome.
Thank you. Carol McKellar (member)

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.
