Hi. We are a team which works in a UK hosptial. Our a team consists of healthcare assistants who care for and support patients, on a 1:1 basis, whom present with behaviours which challenge.
I was wondering if anyone could suggest some useful activities for dementia patients, or those suffering with a delirium, within a hospital environment?
Our team are currently unable to provide group activities due to the various locations of our patients. Any activities we provide would be confided to the hospital ward.
Thank you so much for such an awesome resource and to everyone for sharing their ideas. It takes the pressure off and allows more time to be spent with the ones we are caring for who after all need our time more than anything else. I am looking forward to reading as much as I can get my hands on and finding ways to improve the lives of our valuable community members and bring some sunshine in. Much appreciated :)
