Maths as a group activity in memory support is a fun group activity that has everyone engaged with confidence Older persons maths skills are stronger than later generations Maths was learnt by rote the rolling of black boards with times tables written up so as a group sing the 5 times tables all from memory Enjoy
The game finish the proverbs I don't use cards as many of the residents no longer have the ability to read Using the well know proverbs I give the group the first half of the proverb encouraging residents to verbalise the finish end of that proverb this encourages them to verbalise
This is a great idea for those residents who are still able to read I like to encourage - courage in the residents by creating a competitive edge, not stating a answer is incorrect, but acknowledging it was a great answer from that person answering, and not singling out anyone to answer Everyone sits in a group setting and I take my arm roaming from one side of the group to the other to encourage answers from both sides of the group
Diversional therapists and lifestyle qualified workers are not valued for their assessment capability and when engaged with dementia study qualifications the board spectrum our work carries We offer more than a spoonful of sugar we have not been aligned on the ladder with allied health professionals as we should be
Golden Carers is my 'Right Hand Man'... I am ever so grateful for this website. Thank you to all who contribute... hopefully I will share some things myself soon.
