Hi there, looking for suggestions for a piece of art work we could do with our dementia patients that can be given to a manager that is leaving. Something not to intricate would be great as we have patients at various stages of their dementia journey. Thank you.
Hi Elizabeth Nice of you to be giving this to a manager who is leaving You could do a smaller version of this and instead of saying what are you thankful for say why we are thankful for you are we like you because you’re something like that and then give each resident a leaf to decorate put it on the tree and give to the manager https://www.goldencarers.com/tree-of-thanks/6733/ You could also do this wreath except instead of Saying Gratitude day write the manager’s name Then give each resident one of the leaves to decorate or say what they want and make the wreath https://www.goldencarers.com/gratitude-day-wreath/6514/ Hope you get the idea Let me know if this is what you had in mind or if they are too simple or too hard
Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.

You could also do this wreath except instead of Saying Gratitude day write the manager’s name
Then give each resident one of the leaves to decorate or say what they want and make the wreath
