Thank you Salena, I tried this with dementia clients in the latter stages and it was thoroughly enjoyed. There were eight residents in the group, one man has difficulty focusing and speaking most of the time. One of the other group members remarked at the end of the session 'That is the most talking I have heard ...... do ever and he just wanted to keep talking!' This particular resident had a question ' Something that was a really special occasion for you?' He spoke about special birthdays in his youth. I have to say this really touched my heart, I was so happy for him to be able to join in again which he only does very occasionally AND get so much enjoyment from it!
Golden Carers is a phenomenal and creative resource of activities for the senior population and people with dementia. They also provide resources and support for the caregiver too. I liked all the different types of activities that were available. You could pick and choose from a plethora of items the activities appropriate for your group. Keep on doing what you are doing. So many people's lives have been touched and improved by your website. Your website is a blessing to many organisations.
