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 just want to let you know, I really am glad to be your member. I am learning so much with your information and I create daily activities with your help. My residents are so happy and this means the world to me. Thanks to you all.
