Hi my name is Leticia I need help in finding something that a resident has BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS she has dementia she has a busy box i gave her socks so she could sort and fold what else can i give her or do with her she loves coloring, and Knitting walking I also take her outside for a walk but i need more ideas i could give her so she could be busy.
HI. Leticia! Is there someway you could be more specific using her history? For instance, we have a doctor in our memory unit. We made him his own binder for charting and he "does rounds" with our nurse every day. If she was a teacher, maybe she could grade papers or prepare packets for her students? If she was a mom, maybe you could set up a nursery where she could "babysit"? Just a thought!
So glad I found you, your site is such a blessing to me 😊. I have been a PCA for 17 yrs. I am in charge of making up the monthly calendar and coming up with new ideas. It was starting to be a real challenge. I encourage all my residents to join in daily but they need new things offered to hold their interest. So glad I took a chance and signed up with you!!! You're making my job a lot easier. Thank you and keep up the great work !! It's so appreciated.
