Hi I am a activities co- ordinator in a 37 bed care home most have various stages of dementia, I have 1 particular resident who is deaf and the only communication is by writing things down for her, recently she has been depressed because she can’t speak to anyone. I have tried all sorts to get her to join in with the activities but she refuses, I buy her a good selection of magazines because she loves to read I go through the magazines with her I give her facials manicures and do famous faces but I am really struggling had to what to do next. Has anyone any suggestions.
I have been in this field for close to 15 years. I came across your website initially because I was searching for a shared, personal forum with other professionals in my field that was not attached to random advertising and monthly fees. After discovering your website which hosted a forum that was exactly what I was looking for, as well as providing a mountain of resources that didn’t require you to follow several external links to get to, and to top it off no monthly recurring fee...Jackpot!
