Golden Carers' website is OUTSTANDING! I tell others about it often. I appreciate everything you do! Your team works hard and it shows! My people LOVE the Rhyming Riddles! They feel so smart when they guess correctly. I repeat them from time to time, and they still enjoy! Feel free to create more.

Hello all,
I run a dementia befriending service. I am looking for a new tool to demonstrate that my service is beneficial to individuals with dementia. I need a questionnaire that I can complete with a service user at different periods and report on the difference with an improvement in their level of engagement and overall mood.
Thanks in advance
hi
You can make a chart listing the activities that they engaged in their level of engagement and how it made them feel
You can use a form something like this suggested on golden Carers https://www.goldencarers.com/pdf/4119/
Then you can decide which activities were successful and offer more activities like this
You can also use the tool kit offered by golden Carers if you want to do this on a computer
