Hello friends I'm coordinator at Eyres House Memory Support Planned Activity Group in Ballarat Australia. We run a program for those who have a diagnosis of dementia, or any other cognitive decline. We have been closed to clients since the 20th March. I have been keeping in contact with my clients & carers by phone mainly. I have sent weekly correspondence with easy quizzes and activities found mostly on this website - thank you all. I have also made up activity packs & dropped them to some of my clients who are either higher functioning or have a carer that will help them. I have included craft & cooking packages. Colouring books & pencils, word searches, novels, DVD's & jigsaw puzzles. But now I need your help, I'm running out of ideas. If any of you are doing the same, I'd love to know what ideas you have come up with. Thanks you.
This site is amazing! I'm not sure how I survived before I was introduced to this! Something for every occasion! So many ways for the clients to reminisce and learn about new things. Well worth the membership fee. Thank you!
