Hi folks,
Can anyone one offer some advise please as I feel that I am not managing to do much in the way of group activities.
I do plenty of one - one but this limits the amount of residents I can engage with in my day.
I find I struggle with activities because so many of my residents are at different levels of dementia.as well as the mental health side varying ages and types of phsicosi.
