Hi Angie

Can you have an entertainer, take just one area or is it too big??

Look at what people part in Sally’s and Dawns posts

Also I would go with your residents favorite activities

Above all keep on a happy face

Those with dementia are very sensitive to your emotions

Hello I feel you, we also close our doors to all public and family for protection, now they are all anxious and worried, I have had to rebuild my calendar and now more than ever; I come with a lot of enthusiasm and lots of fun games that distract them a bit. picnic in the backyard with music and soft drinks, movie night (comedy) with s'more, pig in a blanket, popcorn, drinks. competition with pictures puzzle, familie collage, gardening, karaoke instead of a musician, stand up comedy videos, it's hard to distract them but not impossible, we got this.

Sounds great Elizabeth

You are obviously a very good activity director

Hello! We are also locked down.. Talk to your admin. Mine is willing to still pay my entertainers etc if they will do a skype or online show for the residents. This would also work for exercise and craft classes.. It is a double good! Our entertainers are losing a whole lot of money with all of us having to cancel, and our residents will appreciate getting to have a familiar activity.. (also do video calls with family members)

Good ideas Val

Thanks so much
