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!
I really appreciate this website and this is my second year using it. I am a Activity Director in mental health.

I am so thankful for this site and will continue using the resources for my residents
