Hi,

Depending on the stages of your residents (early, middle or late) there are several activities that you can do. Reminiscing, trivia, simple cooking, cards, jokes, exercise with your higher functioning are just a few there are many others. All stages love music and sing a longs. Middle stages can do things like matching,folding, sorting, singing, helping you with drying tables, handing out things. Late stages you can do sensory like aromas they can smell, nail polish for the ladies, lotions on their hands. I have been in this field for 12 years. Any activity is possible if you adapt it to their needs. If you send me your fax # I can send you alist of books that may be helpful.

Good Luck.

Barbara
