I so activities in several adult family homes. One home has a deaf resident with dementia. I do not know sign language. I am looking for ideas of activities to do with her.
Maybe you could try a tasting session - make use of other senses - try the biscuit quiz with samples of them - they can bring back great memories for people!
I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!

Are you looking for ideas to do one on one or do you want to include her in a group?
Here are some ideas
