Thank you for your comments and I totally get what Elisa is saying and couldn't agree more.

Majority of the home is nursing and dementia. For most of the day residents are asleep. Any suggestions for activities and anything that will keep them awake? I am finding this increasingly difficult.

Michelle I know exactly where you are coming from. I work at a nursing home and have the same issues as you. My problem is that Management seem to forget about the residents bed bound and stuck in their rooms. More interested in me being on the top floor with the Dementia residents. The individual time for the residents is so important even if it's 10 minutes. This is a difficult job for anyone and I think all of us that do it deserve a pat on the back for sticking with it.
