My husband has Vascular Dementia. His physical health is wonderful. He is in a wonderful memory care facility but is bored to death.This boredom and frustration occasionally rears its ugly head as aggression and depression. He constantly pleads for "something to do." He is not interested in games, reading, arts and crafts, movies, etc. He was a business owner. He longs for the days when he hired employees, oversaw work sites, issued bids, priced materials.....in general was THE BOSS. We are racking our brains to find something meaningful for him to do within the facility that gives his days purpose. Can you help???
You're quite the special angel here to assist everyone. It takes a special kind of person to deal with seniors - they are not given the respect or credit they so deserve to have lasted this long on this earth. To have witnessed such history is amazing. So many are forgotten about and I try everyday to share RAOKs (Random Acts of Kindness) with any person I see that could use it - thank you again for the great ideas which I hope to spread around the area to help make others know how special they are.
