hi betty , doll therapy is something you need to educate staff and family memebers on as it can be very confronting , but saying that it works perfectly for some residents who are at the stage in their dementia journey where they need the comfort and have the need to nurture, it can work for men as well as women a great place to get good information is on the spark of life dementia care Australia site i hope this helps cheers dorothy
I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)
