Our Memory Support Unit has just gone into lockdown. Most residents (12) are in the late stage of dementia. Can anyone suggest ways to keep our residents stimulated and connected with their families. We would appreciate any help and ideas. Thanks.
It's really wonderful to see our clients so engaged with the puzzles and word searches, the Trivia is really popular and our participants get a buzz out of getting the answers correct. Golden Carers is our "Go To" resource on a weekly basis and it is rewarding for our working day to add it to our activity programs.
