Could you try something like flower arranging (fresh or fake) where you put all the flowers on the table so residents can touch them if they like. Maybe offer to let them smell flowers if they are fresh. And talk with them about the colors and the names of the flowers. If residents are able to show you “yes” and “no” then hold up a flower and ask “do you want this one in your arrangement?”. Then they can either take them back to their rooms or you can use them as centerpieces in the dining room. Dollar tree has some nice vases.
Golden Carers has made my ministry so much easier! I loved it before COVID and now it's even more enjoyable with all your helpful activities! Thank you!
