Hello All, These ideas are all awesome ! I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to do a scavenger hunt with persons who are less mobile. I am the activities coordinator for an adult daycare for persons with dementia. Many of my participants are less mobile and their individual cognitions level vary. This being said they really so enjoy new and exciting things and I would love to try this in some form. Thank you in advance for any ideas that you may have. Kindly, Erica
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for activities to do with both Young Onset Dementia clients, as well as male clients. I have experienced a marked increase in my male population at the adult day center where I am the Actvities Coordinator. I have reccenlty enrolled a gentleman an who is in his early 50's and several other very active men who are proving very challenging to program for. Thank you in advance for any suggestions that you may have. Kindly, Erica Lee Collins Hope Alzheimer's Center Rhode Island, USA
I love Golden Carers! When I first became an ‘Activity Aide’ I spent hours scouring the internet looking for meaningful activities for elders experiencing cognitive decline. I finally found ‘Golden Carers’! I’ve passed along ’the find’ to the Activity Director of where I work. Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is much more than a great resource for activities - it’s an education on how to provide ‘life’ to both workers and our elders.
