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.

On the weekends in the dementia wing we do not have lifestyle staff. what dvd,s would be suitable to play in the mornings for our residents. We have dvd with birds and fish bowl etc. Looking for appropiate movie eg similiar to the Radio blue skies , series but in movie form? Any ideas
Hi Wendy, here are some movies that in my experience were
very welcomed when shown to residents.
You may borrow them from your local library or buy them online.
Residents may also enjoy music DVDs by Nana Mouskouri, Richard
Clayderman, Roy Orbison, The Seekers, Andre Rieu.
Singing in the Rain
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Some Like it Hot
The Sound of Music
The Pajama Game
Honeymoon on Wheels
My Fair lady
Kiss me Kate
Easter parade
The Court Jester
The Wizard of Oz
Dumb and Dumber
It's a Wonderful Life
The Glen Miller Story
Travel movies are great also - you can go to the Travel Agents and borrow some or the Library, also shops like Cheap as Chips/Dick Smith often have good DVD's - call it ARMCHAIR TRAVEL
To Wendy
I find Musical movies with Doris Day or Fred Astaire are favourites. Great old songs to evoke memories
Hi you can add also the Disney movies like Lion King, then Happy Feet, as these have music great colour and lots of movement our residents love these type also as all the others that have been suggested
Hope this helps
