Thanks for all of these activities. I was looking for something a little less formal and structured as some of the residents who come to the music morning would find it challenging to take part in a formal and structured arrangement.
I volunteer at the music therapy group at an aged care facility where the residents in the group are at different levels of needing care. Some are at very advanced stages of dementia others at early stage and still others don't have dementia but need care for other reasons.
I'm looking for some musical activities that all can be involved in and looking for different drumming activities that all can participate in. Would be grateful for ideas along this line and any other ideas that you can think of. Thanks Christina
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
