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.
I really appreciate this website and this is my second year using it. I am a Activity Director in mental health. We have residents from all ages at our facility so all the resources made available here can be utilized in so many ways. I am so thankful for this site and will continue using the resources for my residents

This is a common occurrence
Music activities are usually good
Most of these are good but you need to decide by the residents interests
