Hi Silvia, I would suggest you celebrate birthdays with:1) Singalong (cantare Insieme). Use folk melodies and music from the ‘Festival of San Remo” from the 1950s, 19060s. 2) Make a poster with photos of the person's family, and 3) Cook the person’s favourite meal.

Hi, Kelly, Rosina, Jennifer, and Sharon. Very thoughtful ideas indeed. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Terrie, it is rather sad that movies are banned. So much is said about the facility being 'their home' but restrictions like that tell a different story. You are doing the right thing looking for alternatives. Netflix, HBO, and DVD as Debbie suggested are suitable back-ups. Good luck!

Hi Elisa, you are absolutely right. Sometimes all you have to do is to facilitate several activities on a large table and let clients explore. With soft music on the background and supervision, clients can be easily satisfied for an hour or two.

Although it doesn’t work every time it is certainly worth trying.

Hi Simonne, regarding making tweedle muffs for men. Make them in plain colours and skip the decorations and accessories.

Hi Kelly, thank you for your excellent ideas! That's what we all need, innovative ideas to make our jobs even more satisfying.
