We really enjoyed ourselves!! This web-site is the BEST. I have set aside the other resources at my facility since I discovered Golden Cares. I am so thankful for all the work that has gone into this site. It makes my life as a recreation coordinator enjoyable. Thank you

I have found this website a great resource in planning activities esp for special days.
I have been looking for activities for blind people as its hard for them to participate in all other activities. Any suggestions other than talking books and music would be geatly appreciated.
Cheers,

try (sensory) activities that suit the other senses i.e. taste, hearing, touch, smell.
For example: food tasting; flower baskets/flower smelling; sensory music CDs; touch kits/bags with different texture balls, objects - try & get your clients to guess what the item is just by touching; hand massages & aromatherapy - just to name a few.

Do you do room visits with those two have advanced dementia??
Have you asked their families what interested them in the past??
Do the other residents enjoy the activities you are doing??
You can ask one or two people from different backgrounds to share some customs with the group
