I have just gained a position in a respite house with limited space. Also clients do not live there but spend a day sometimes 2 or 3 days. Am interested in suggestions.
Are your clients having respite from being a carer of a relative with dementia? do a leisure profile for your clients even if brief will guide you in a choice of person centred activities Good recreation activities are cards, board games, newspapers and magazines. Try some outside activities enjoying the garden etc, encourage help with the meal and suggestions on what to cook. However if your clients are very frail or have dementia you might need to plan some sensory activities and activities related to their level of cognition.
Golden Carers has made creating our monthly rosters so much easier with fantastic ideas, games and quizzes to keep my Day Club members entertained and the brain ticking over. Thank you, the membership fee even for our small volunteer group is money well spent. :)
