Any suggestions on how to celebrate Oktoberfest without alcohol… I work at a VA so many of my veterans struggle with alcoholism… I am planning a mule wagon ride, some yard games and pretzels with cheese sauce… in case the weather doesn’t cooperate - any other suggestions? I am on a sub-acute rehab unit with several veterans with dementia….
Hi was wondering how I can celebrate Okotberfest for dementia residents without alcohol at my workplace . Is their anything else I can do for them that they can enjoy .
I am overwhelmed with the activities on this site, truly amazing. This website has been tremendously amazing and helpful for all my residents on the dementia unit. I have worked in the field of dementia and Alzheimer’s in a long term care home for 30 years. This website is a blessing from above. You are all amazing for the future of care givers and residents.

I was not allowed to serve alcohol either so I either made a non-alcoholic punch with Gingerale and some kind of fruit juice or a used root beer as the beer
