Hi All. I love this site we was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what to do Monday 19th as we have residential unit who will love to watched the queens funeral but we also have Dementia unit who like to only sit for short period's of time what we could do for them any ideas would be apricated. Thankyou x
Hi Hazel I would not even put on the funeral because it might be too depressing for those with dementia You might adapt and modify these ideas to make them showered enough so those with dementia will stay engaged You might want to sing some songs also https://www.goldencarers.com/how-to-plan-music-activities-for-dementia-care/3192/
I love Golden Carers! When I first became an ‘Activity Aide’ I spent hours scouring the internet looking for meaningful activities for elders experiencing cognitive decline. I finally found ‘Golden Carers’! I’ve passed along ’the find’ to the Activity Director of where I work. Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is much more than a great resource for activities - it’s an education on how to provide ‘life’ to both workers and our elders.
