Hi folks, Can anyone one offer some advise please as I feel that I am not managing to do much in the way of group activities. I do plenty of one - one but this limits the amount of residents I can engage with in my day. I find I struggle with activities because so many of my residents are at different levels of dementia.as well as the mental health side varying ages and types of phsicosi.
This site is amazing! It has helped me so much over the last couple of months. My residents are big fans of your Arm Chair Travels. Keep up the great work!

This is a common occurrence
Music activities are usually good
Most of these are good but you need to decide by the residents interests
