I do an evening relaxation program at my facility using relaxing dvds and music and giving the residents some 1:1 time by doing hand massages and/or feet massages. Some of the ladies like having their nails done too. Calming activities are used as well such as looking through their photo albums or animal books, I find that dvds with animals work wonders too. Pan flute music is soothing....some of the dvds that I have bought are from ISIS Visuals http://www.naturedvd.com.au and http://www.kendavismusic.com/
