I am a Pinterest queen but needed new ideas. Thank you so much, this has helped me plan my calendar with ease. Well worth the money and I can use the pictures to make new concentration games that my residents enjoy. Again thanks so much.

We have a new resident aged only 49 with very early stage huntington's disease was wondeing if anyone was in similar situation or has any activity ideas for a younger resident.
Huntington's disease is associated with a triad of symptoms; cognitive, motor and emotional. Each individual varies in terms of which symptoms they predominantly exhibit. Find out the resident's interests and provide cognitive/physical/socially stimulating activities relating to their interests. In addition, provide activities that work on areas effected by HD, for example, planning, creative thinking, memory, executive function, balance etc.
Hope this helps.

I would contact Huntington's services in your state, they are wonderful and can assist you, just google them.
