Does anyone find it hard to encourage imagination in their clients? We had two new clients start the other day in our community day centre. I thought it would be good to do an ice breaker. So I asked them each 3 questions 1. What is your name 2. Where were you born 3. Have you ever wanted to be called something different?
None of them had ever thought of it or could come up with another name that they liked. I’ve tried this sort of thing before and found the same thing
Hi Sally Some people just are not imaginative or creative Perhaps you could ask other questions Could give a choice of two responses and they have to pick one This makes it easier for some people especially those with dementia
Hi.Susan Yes that’s very true. My group is a mixed bunch and not all with dementia diagnosis. I do end up asking questions but I often see craft activities on Facebook where clients have used imagination and wonder what I. Hold do better.
I just want to reassure you that Golden Carers is worth every penny. I have been using your resources for many years now in various organisations. Thank you, you make my job so much easier and interesting for the residents.
