I work in the evenings in a secure dementia unit. Activities I have done is "what's in the bag". Residents have to feel the bag and guess what's in it. We put out washing for residents to fold. Great to have socks where they have to find the matching pair. We've had plastic pipes (the ones used for plumbing) that they love to connect and unconnect. We've put things in different size and shaped containers so they have to take lids off and work out what size lid goes with which container.
Golden Carers is a phenomenal and creative resource of activities for the senior population and people with dementia. They also provide resources and support for the caregiver too. I liked all the different types of activities that were available. You could pick and choose from a plethora of items the activities appropriate for your group. Keep on doing what you are doing. So many people's lives have been touched and improved by your website. Your website is a blessing to many organisations.
