I have been an Activity Director for 2 years, nursing staff feels that I am not doing enough for late stage dementia residents. There are 4 residents that sit in a recliner and want to sleep all day. I have provided head set with music, hand massages, file & polish nails, read poetry and several other things. Does anyone have any suggestions on more sensory activities or what can I say to the staff that comment weekly. The are the Director of Nursing and ADON. I have one full time staff and 2 staff that work 16 and 20 hours. They never compliment just constant complaints.
Thank you so much for allowing us to share all the wonderful ideas that are on Golden Carers. It is so helpful, inspiring and they give our residents so much fun and the feeling of achievement once we have completed them. It is great that we can spread the days out and do a lot over time rather than in one session. THANK YOU ALL

Thank you for responding and the information. I have not received a tag, thank goodness.
The nurses should be staying in their own lane. :)
