Hi Pauline,
It certainly is a challenge doing our job. I am in a similar position to yourself, I have done the job for two years now and find some people find group situations really distressing. Low noise, basic tasks like balloon bopping, aromatherapy hand massage is good if resident allows. Another good one if resident can use hands, a bowl of rice with colourful glitter, hidden within are beads or colourful balls, adapt the size of objects to the needs of resident. The texture of the rice seems to relax. Hope this is hrlpful, remember you are making a difference!
