Our Non-cooking Cooking classes are done in small groups, 6 feet apart , washing hands wearing gloves before handling anything. I pre-make individual packets to give to each one. I show them step by step as what to do and they follow. I have an assistant that helps.
We have a Resident who has limited vision, lead one of our cooking groups. He made his home made spaghetti and meatballs. Of course He was supervised at all times and assisted as needed cutting up the vegetables(onions, bell peppers). I also purchased small bags of seasonings he wanted. He didn't like the supervision, I told him in order for him to do this, he has to be supervised or he will not be able. He growled some, but all in all, It boosted his self esteem and his confidence. Our staff praised him for making great tasting spaghetti!

Alz and Dem Residents, in smaller groups, 10-15 minutes so you can catch more groups if you are working by yourself. 3 groups within an hour 3 times a week.

Google “silhouette” men or women. Print out on card stock. Let the resident have fun choosing the flowers and gems they want to display on the picture. Hot glue, staple, whatever will make them stick! Have FUN!

We really had a great time accessorizing these silhouettes. We have had family and friends wanting to purchase them! (Hmmm not a bad idea for a fundraiser!)
I have been using your site constantly over the last few weeks as I was allocated a client with young on-set dementia. Your strategies, games and ideas have been brilliant. Thanks again!
