I work with a client that has little or no vision, is hard of hearing and it confined to bed. I am always on the look out for interesting activities to do with her.
We have worked on her life story, do her nails and hand and foot massages, I take her outside into our garden, I try to get her to fold "washing" for me, we have a box of rice that she gets items out off and trys to guest what they are, I usually try to read something to her, (local paper, poetry, jokes ect), although she does not always hear what I am saying, her sense of smell and taste is not so good either, I am running out of ideas, and she sometimes appears bored. Any suggestions?
Thanks for all the other ideas you have, I am always keen to see what new items you have. Keep up the good work
What a blessing to have found the Golden Carers website, our residents love the activities, particularly fond of visual and musical quizzes. Oh, what fun!! Thanks to all to those at Golden Carers and everyone who contributes to making this website an invaluable tool in ones' toolkit.
