Hi, Have been instructed to leave items for our dementia residents to use after I have gone home in the evening. I have done so in the past only to find pieces or items missing. Having paid for most of the equipment and not wanting this to happen again, would like suggestions if possible. Unfortunately, there will be occasions, when carers will have to leave the lounge unattended, so safety is my main concern, many thanks in advance.
Try to get things donated Do not leave things that you would be sad if they were destroyed or lost Do not leave expensive things You can leave magazines Decks of playing cards Paper two fold or color Stickers and inexpensive water soluble magic markers Donated scarves and neckties Paper bags Beach balls I am sure there are other things but you know what your residents like the best I am curious many places do not leave Dementia residents unattended
Golden Carers is just wonderful. An amazing resource shared all over the world. I use Golden carers on a daily basis and added with Pinterest, it just makes my job that little bit easier on those days when inspiration doesn't come easy. I love that there is always something new every time I look.
