Can anyone give me some ideas for activities designed for people with youger onset dementia, I am having trouble sourcing information for those aged in their fifties. Many thanks Janlyn
Hi Janlyn, a great place to start is to imagine yourself as a person in that age group. What was the music of their teenage years or their earlier years, what was the must have toy, the tv advertisements, the tv shows, - so much information and material can be gained just by this little research.
I have recently started my new position of Lifestyle Coordinator working with elders. I decided to join Golden Carers membership for activity ideas and chat forums. It has been the most wonderful experience and helped me immensely with the endless ideas and activities, I especially like the monthly Calander templates. It is an invaluable resource!
Many thanks Janlyn
