I also use my own personal dvd's I bring from home and put them into my lab top and show them on a big screen along with popcorn of course! I use the input on the computer to plug into a pa system for sound and use a projector. it works really well. No big screen if you have a projector just show on a wall. You can put net flix on your computer as well so you can project movies onto a wall or screen that way also.
I went on u tube and found Sherry Zak Morris, uplifting music, simple exercises its yoga seated in the chair, the ones we used before got boring, she is really good, I even exercise to her at my home. Have a awesome time, people will really like the music!
I am an activity director at an adult day center, we have people for 4 to 8 hours with different stages of dementia, we play many activities we stay busy all day really no down time , I go through alot of different games. Also would like some arts and craft ideas some need to be simple yet not to simple for higher functioning clients. Thanks
Thank you very much to Golden Carers for creating such an informative website. You have assisted me and my colleagues in developing a fun and engaging activities programme that is meaningful and interesting for our Bristol Care Homes residents. You are also our plan B in the event that plan A does not go as planned. We strongly advise all activity workers to join you.
