Hi Kymberly, We have a warm wax machine (you can only use the wax once so it does become expensive) do the wax then we gently massage their hands with almond or lavender oil. If they suffer from arthritis in their hands the warm wax is great, you can also use warm water with Epsom salts in it and lavender oil, soak for 10 minutes then dry and massage. We also do nail therapy as in painting their nails, the clients/family bring in their own nail polish. Lesley
I was hesitant at first to sign up for another website for activities, but I have been pleasantly surprised. It has been fun to search all you have to offer and during Covid-19 your site has helped me and our other Life Enrichment Coordinator so much. I truly appreciate all you do and provide. It just gets better all the time. Our residents love the word searches because they are so bold and clear. We have used many of your ideas and I’m so grateful! Thank you!
