Re: Activities for Confused Adults
We usually also taylor activities to each resident individually, aromatherapy is good, the soft music great, Having a conversation we call it Memory Lane - we talk about things say like that happened in 1969- woodstock events of that nature and then talk about current events and you will be amazed at the long term memory sometimes with these folks, we also in east texas shell peas in the summer they do that for hours and love it!! Blackeye peas yum yum!!
The best thing you can do is ask the resident and family what things they use to do like what games/cards/ movies/ dancing/ getting nails/hair done etc... church/bible study / wine and cheese parties / you know in our facility we let a lot of the staff bring there little ones bye and wow talk about light up the day of a resident bring in a puppy or a baby. -- I like it too must be getting old!!
