Residents can't come out of there at the moment and this have been a good help to stop there boredom. I'm making up Activity books of a mixture of all your activities, that I feel Residents would enjoy. Thanks
I’m am making up booklets of quizzes, short stories, colouring in, word search games & other items of interest to certain residents. Taking a library trolley around to Residents rooms. Lending DVD & CD to Residents to watch or listen to in there room. Writing letters to friends overseas, family & friends with a picture of Resident inside. Doing exercises in Residents rooms 1-1, I have found that this is all working & keeping everyone happy. I took a video of a husband & wife on there I phone, this was very special. As asked them question about there life together, all smiles and laughter.Extremely precious moment residents wife was thrilled to bits. Good luck everyone during this hard time.
I have done this many times & it’s really amazing when they smell something it brings back lots of memories. It’s a great activity, you could try and peel peas& corn very safe. Good therapy session as many people lived on farms & grew there own veggies.Makes them feel worth while and they have helped out with the cooking. We planted the peas & corn , water them & watched them grow & picked the veggies together, than peeled them while having group talk about the use of this veggies.We made pea & corn soup than residents had this at dinner time.
I appreciate how accessible everything is to create worthwhile, mind-opening, engaging absolutely wonderful activities for our friends. Our calendars are overflowing with so much variety their is something for everyone, every day. Thank you so much for helping me to create days that always bring something for everyone to look forward to. They are engaged, active, laughing and living life to its fullest because of you there are endless possibilities.
