hi All,
I have 32 residents with varying degrees of dementia. I struggle to engage with our residents with limited vision and hearing, any ideas welcome? Also looking for some inexpensive sensory ideas.

I love using yarn with people who have visual impairment because there are many different textures. If they want to we might learn to make pom-poms or wind it up.
Lately I have been thinking about using fingermazes but have not gotten one yet.
And for those with hearing loss but preserved vision I just find books with photos, reminiscence cards or print and laminate photos of things they would like.
At the moment I have a lady who gets a new photo of herself and a photo of a baby every Wednesday and keeps them in a box she looks through every day. And another lady who just goes through her bag of yarn breaking it into small pieces.
Great ideas Elisa
I also like tangling up and untangling yarn
