There is a common misconception that Cooking Group Activities are for higher functioning residents. However, there are so many steps in the cooking prep process that with a bit of support, cooking groups really can be for everyone.

This group cooking is a good idea especially with dementia residents. It will bring back memories for them, when they are able to cook before. I am excited to share these cooking ideas in our facility. Thanks!

Hi Gail
So glad you are enjoying the cooking activities as well as other activities on this site

For a really simple cooking activity you can make a dip because there’s no cooking and everyone can mix it or add ingredients
