Hi guys I only joined in and very new. What activities do you assist with someone who has lost all their speech but understands when you verbally interact with them??They can’t participate in any physical activities, only sat on the chair at all times.
Hi Akanisi We have many activities for those with expressive aphasia as you are describe https://www.goldencarers.com/5-aphasia-activities-for-senior-care/5406/ Can the person use his upper body because there are many movements you can do with those who can only sit but can use their upper body Even if they can only do one thing it’s better than nothing https://www.goldencarers.com/short-easy-exercise-routine/6301/ I suggest they not touch the toes but otherwise this is a fun routine that can be done from my chair Let me know if you need any more ideas
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
