Hi guys I only joined in and very new. What activities do you assist with someone who has lost all their speech but understands when you verbally interact with them??They can’t participate in any physical activities, only sat on the chair at all times.
Hi Akanisi We have many activities for those with expressive aphasia as you are describe https://www.goldencarers.com/5-aphasia-activities-for-senior-care/5406/ Can the person use his upper body because there are many movements you can do with those who can only sit but can use their upper body Even if they can only do one thing it’s better than nothing https://www.goldencarers.com/short-easy-exercise-routine/6301/ I suggest they not touch the toes but otherwise this is a fun routine that can be done from my chair Let me know if you need any more ideas
Golden Carers has been such a help to increase the range of activity sessions that we provide. Our residents love so many of the activities that are on here. It is also lovely that we can share our own idea's to help others. I am so glad that we signed up to Golden Carers - I am always recommending it to other activity coordinators locally.
