Hi Effie, Would a writing board help this client to communicate or perhaps a coaster sized book of pictures for him to be able to point out what he is trying to convey such as a picture of a toilet or drinking cup. Just a thought.
Hi, I have read the above articles and am just wondering if it might help finding out a particular item this lady client keeps stating is missing, e.g. a watch and getting hold of a cheap one which might re-assure her or is this going to open up a can of worms?
I have also noticed that walking around also helps with their bowel routine and as most people know, when your bowels are sluggish then it can have an affect on you.
I absolutely love this website and get most of my daily activities from it. Love the monthly diary too. It has so much to offer for different stages of dementia residents. I love the artwork, games, and quizzes which we use every day. People are constantly asking where do I get my ideas. Thank you so much!
