Love these ideas and today I am taking in my old button box to sort through with a resident. I thought I'd take in my big office pencil sharpener with the side handle to see if they would enjoy doing this too plus we get all the office pencils sharpened! Also I am thinking of taking my shoe cleaning kit in to see if it nidges a some memories. All with me by their side of course...
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
