In the High Care section of my Nursing Home we have a gentleman who is mid 60s and incredibly OCD. Quite intelligent but a terrible Cleptomaniac. Eats or talks about eating all the time. Load voice and other residents get irritated a lot. Does anyone else have residents similar to this and have any good ideas?

If he is able to

give him some magazines to cut recipes out of and make a recipe scrap book. Get him to research history of particular food, eg Apples and then have a Apple day, cooking apple cakes, or muffins, pikelets with strewed apple in, apple juice, old apple box label and quiz.

it would give him a purpose if he is able to focus.

Thank you so much for such an awesome resource, and to everyone who shares their ideas. It really takes the pressure off and allows more time to be spent with the people we care for, who after all need our time more than anything else. Much appreciated :)
