We are looking at investing in an interactive digital table. Do any of your have then in your care settings and are they worth the investment?

Hi Peta

I have never had a table like this but I’m sure it would be a great addition to your facility

Are you able to have a trial. To see if it works the way you wanted to and engages they residents

We use a 'magic table'. I give some of the residents who have more advanced dementia a half hour at the table, give them a 'prop' such as a soft fluffy cloth and it really increases the amount of physical activity that they get as I put on a program such as sweeping away autumn leaves or trying to wipe the fish off the table. It acts well as a distraction too if they are a bit 'irritable'.

Wow Jean

Thank you for this information

Where did you get the magic table??

Hi Susan, Our H/O ordered one for each of the homes in the group, 7 I think, I didn't even have to ask for it.

Thank you so much for allowing us to share all the wonderful ideas that are on Golden Carers. It is so helpful, inspiring and they give our residents so much fun and the feeling of achievement once we have completed them. It is great that we can spread the days out and do a lot over time rather than in one session. THANK YOU ALL
