I design the calendar on a monthly basis. My clients have different levels of dementia; the activities must be simple, short and purpose driven. The residents enjoy crafts such as painting sculptures, eggs and seeing Easter related. Mother’s Day is huge therefore I am thinking spa day, Photo Booth, gift baskets etc.. hope this helps
Hi, my name is Nicole I am the activity coordinator for a memory care facility. The residents have different levels of dementia which range from early to late stage. The activity calendar is a tool that is used to keep loved ones apprised of how a resident spends their day. Today a family member expressed displeasure that a manicure did not happen. Do you have suggestions how I can plan and follow through on my own for these approx 65 residents. Thank you
Thank you very much to Golden Carers for creating such an informative website. You have assisted me and my colleagues in developing a fun and engaging activities programme that is meaningful and interesting for our Bristol Care Homes residents. You are also our plan B in the event that plan A does not go as planned. We strongly advise all activity workers to join you.
