Hi Luke

Please clarify do you have six different units of residents or are you Doing six different themes on one place

First let me say this is very ambitious of you

I say keep it simple because you can plan some thing and then the residents don’t want to participate especially those with dementia

Perhaps you can model after with this article

This is about the 1950s

I would celebrate the birthdays Of each person born in a particular decade when you are featuring that decade

You can make invitations or flyers advertising the particular decade that you are doing

I would emphasize music because people with Dementia can really relate to thar

Let me know if you need more ideas and let the group know how your activities turned out

6 units each unit will be done by residents and staff and me if I'm on unit that day x

Hi again Luke

Thanks for the information

As I said before this is very ambitious of you

I do hope you have the cooperation of the staff

I like the ideas here

https://www.goldencarers.com/1950s-nostalgia-party/4827/

You can make invitations and decorations for you unit

Also play proper music

Here are some ideas

Ask the staff to dress in the appropriate decade

Ask family members to supply clothes for the residents to wear

If you really want to get ambitious you can invite family members as well

Do you need any more information??

Hi Luke,

You may start with the activities below. Search for the music of the era in Spotify. Don't forget to offer popular food, snack and sweets of these times. You may also look for 'Baby Boomers Music Quiz' 1, 2, 3, 4, in GC site. GoodLuck!
