Hi Jasmeet,

try (sensory) activities that suit the other senses i.e. taste, hearing, touch, smell.

For example: food tasting; flower baskets/flower smelling; sensory music CDs; touch kits/bags with different texture balls, objects - try & get your clients to guess what the item is just by touching; hand massages & aromatherapy - just to name a few.

I was wondering how others implement culture into their programs. We inky have 9 ppl from different backgrounds 2 from UK, 2 from NZ and 1 from Scotland. These are not too different from ours. 2 others identify as being Aussie. The remaining 2 have advanced dementia and do not attend any activities.

We do the usual theme days, armchair travel but was wondering if there was something else I could be doing

Cheers

Kerry

Hi Kerry

Do you do room visits with those two have advanced dementia??

Have you asked their families what interested them in the past??

Do the other residents enjoy the activities you are doing??

You can ask one or two people from different backgrounds to share some customs with the group
