Hi Leanne - Sundown syndrome is common in people suffering from dementia. Directing them to familiar activities may help disorientation. Here are some activities that may help, you may set up one at time or have two or three activities set up daily; depending on how many people you have to help with supervision.

Go to charity shops and buy lots of colourful children/babies clothes

Wash the clothes and place in a basket.

Place basket of clothes on a table and place two empty baskets nearby.

Ask resident to 'help' you sort the clothes by colour: white in one basket and colored into another.

Two basins with some warm water; one with soapy water.

Put dishes (unbreakable) in the soapy water basin.

Ask resident to help you wash and dry the dishes.

Dusting

Sweeping

Waltzing

Painting

Garden walk

Watering plants

Hello, I have just renewed my membership after spending a year with Golden Carers. My residents in the home where I am Activities leader have totally enjoyed all the activities I have used from your website. I have used your newsletter templates, quizzes, word games, "This Day in History", painting pages, seasonal topics, and many more. Keep up the good work in helping us provide meaningful care for our precious residents that we are privileged to look after ✨️
