Hi Lyn, I have been working with HomeInstead since March of this year as well. I too have a client with late stage Alzheimer's. I also have been having her fold the small towels. She also likes helping me put the towels and clothing items away. I think it helps her feel like she is still putting in to the household chores. I also will gather the small pictures in the room I am cleaning and spray a little windex on the paper towel and have my client clean them. She enjoys looking at the pictures, we will talk about them and again she feels that she is helping.
I love this site, it has been a big help in finding great ideas for keeping my clients engaged.
I just wanted to say thank you for all you do to help me and others in my field! The support of your resource has been even more important during COVID and I am so, so thankful. Also thank you for creating a Spanish version of This Day in History!!! I recommend you to my colleagues any chance I get.
