Hi there you could try a sensory bag placing various types of materials,ie wool,felt, etc residents can try and guess what the items are , food tasting activity and smells of old perfumes , soaps,aftershave etc that brings back memories.i hope this inspires you and helps. Diane xx

Hi all we are the same,just been informed no decorations or trees allowed in the homes. If anyone has any alternative ideas to what we can do instead ,was thinking of my residents colouring xmas themed pictures and laminating them so at least there is something in the home that is festive, both staff and residents need cheering up. Stay safe look forward to hearing your ideas.
