I work as a recreational therapist in the senior behavioral health unit at a local hospital. One of my activities is to handout worksheets with random, unrelated words and ask the residents/patients to string the words together to create a short story . I give 16 words, nouns and verbs and ask they use 8 of them. This program assists the medical team to evaluate how the brain is processing the new information.
I am overwhelmed with the activities on this site, truly amazing. This website has been tremendously amazing and helpful for all my residents on the dementia unit. I have worked in the field of dementia and Alzheimer’s in a long term care home for 30 years. This website is a blessing from above. You are all amazing for the future of care givers and residents.
