Hi Sharon, here is a link with a beach theme for a little reminiscing. https://www.goldencarers.com/beach-reminiscing/3907/ You could also make some DIY Popsicles, and lemonade, flowers crowns for the participants and offer fruit punch, fruit Kabobs, and deviled eggs sailboats.
Decorate the facility with coloured pineapples, shells, and straw hats.

Hi I'm hosting a beach day for elderly with dementia I'm looking for idea's to go with it
We are hosting a "Spring Picnic" on Thursday. Our disability group is going to help set up and there will be decorations and outdoor games. You're definitely right, it is easier to organise something with a theme. Will let everyone know how it goes.
I forgot to update you on our picnic last year! We had a lot of fun just chatting and having lunch together unfortunately it was a bit hot for our outdoor games I had planned so this year I'm planning another one a little earlier on in Spring.
Golden Carers is a phenomenal and creative resource of activities for the senior population and people with dementia. They also provide resources and support for the caregiver too. I liked all the different types of activities that were available. You could pick and choose from a plethora of items the activities appropriate for your group. Keep on doing what you are doing. So many people's lives have been touched and improved by your website. Your website is a blessing to many organisations.
Decorate the facility with coloured pineapples, shells, and straw hats.
