Hello friends I'm coordinator at Eyres House Memory Support Planned Activity Group in Ballarat Australia. We run a program for those who have a diagnosis of dementia, or any other cognitive decline. We have been closed to clients since the 20th March. I have been keeping in contact with my clients & carers by phone mainly. I have sent weekly correspondence with easy quizzes and activities found mostly on this website - thank you all. I have also made up activity packs & dropped them to some of my clients who are either higher functioning or have a carer that will help them. I have included craft & cooking packages. Colouring books & pencils, word searches, novels, DVD's & jigsaw puzzles. But now I need your help, I'm running out of ideas. If any of you are doing the same, I'd love to know what ideas you have come up with. Thanks you.
With the resources I've received from you, which I now can't do without, you've become one of my vital lifelines. This site gives me courage and enthusiasm because I know it will always back me up, no matter what. Thank you, and I hope you never stop generating new ideas that we can share, making life more meaningful for the vulnerable in our community.
