Thank you so much for allowing us to share all the wonderful ideas that are on Golden Carers. It is so helpful, inspiring and they give our residents so much fun and the feeling of achievement once we have completed them. It is great that we can spread the days out and do a lot over time rather than in one session. THANK YOU ALL

I am a director of memory care for a long term company and I oversee 13 different units.
We have a VA contracted building and I am struggling a little bit with some of the veterans who have PTSD. Does anyone have any suggestions for different things that work well for residents with PTSD?
Thank you in advance

Residents with PTSD can be hard to engage in activities because you never know what might trigger an episode and you certainly don’t want them to harm themselves or others
Each person is different and their experiences are different
I would talk to the staff there and see if they know of anything that these people like to do
I like activities with food or music but that may or may not work
Trial and error might be our best bet
Let us know what you come up with
Thanks
