Hi all, would like to initiate some activities that will encourage our residents ( high care dementia, high care and low care) to drink more to increase hydration. Would like to incorporate this in my activities if possible. Any ideas?? Wpould be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Jean.
Maybe a bit of a cocktail/mocktail party in the afternoon? use fancy glasses,straws ect :) and have a range of coloured drinks on hand. hope this helps
I have had a lot of success with music therapy. I give the residents a musical instrument to play, and we sing along, balloon hitting is another activity, I give them a fly swat and toss the balloon in their direction. Doll therapy is another success. Clothes folding.
I just transferred from being a CNA to Therapeutic Recreation. I am a Pinterest queen but needed new ideas. Thank you so much, this has helped me plan May's calendar with ease. Well worth the money and I can use the pictures to make new concentration games that my residents enjoy. Again thanks so much and I will be able to add some games myself
Cheers Diane.
