I have brought my mom home with me since covid 19 . She was in a Assisted Living Center and she has a DX. of Alzhiemer's I work during the day and have a sitter while I am work but at night we do trivia, I will ask her riddles, trivia questions and pair words/married words. Pair words I call out the first word and she will finish the phrase. I do this in a way she doesn't realize why I am asking her if she knew why I was asking she would not answer any questions. I record reflections on TV and turn that on for mom until she gets tired watching it. . She loves game show network and we watch family fued and Americas Says together and we both answer the questions. Maybe this will keep both of our minds working. :) Also adult coloring books. I hope this may help a little.
Does anyone do small club groups( I know social distancing with the groups) and your regular activities each day? If you do, how do you plan the times? Example cooking club during the day with your 2 regular group activities also the same day. I am trying to plan more activities now with the covid. I will have extra help starting next month and need some ideas of how to add this.
Friday, SAturday and sunday we had the following. I did ice cream in cones. We had the karoke, singing patriotic songs and the residents loved this. We have since done other types of music also. We had watermelon and lemonaide social on front porch. thank you for all the ideas. We also did a firework craft and displayed it for ever one to see them.
Thank you for many years of wonderful ideas that you have given me through Golden Carers. Your ideas and opportunities for networking with other activities people have been a great resource for me to access. Wishing your wonderful organisation all the best.
