Such a great idea! What material was the mural painted on?
One way to get children to participate in activities with elders is by contacting your local school. Ask to speak to the Art Teacher and inquire weather a group of children could come to do a project at your facility. They can paint, sing, act and do craft with residents once a fortnight.
Nice post. Did they reach out to you to volunteer or did you reach out to them and ask them to volunteer? A few more details would be beneficial. ;) Thanks.
I am overwhelmed with the activities on this site, truly amazing. This website has been tremendously amazing and helpful for all my residents on the dementia unit. I have worked in the field of dementia and Alzheimer’s in a long term care home for 30 years. This website is a blessing from above. You are all amazing for the future of care givers and residents.
