What an amazing site with so many activities to stimulate our elderly people and to make them enjoy the togetherness of everything you offer as activities. I am from South Africa, Johannesburg and being part of such a huge "population" of carers having the same Purpose in mind, is a huge priviledge to me! I am the Nursing Manager of a Retirement home and keep on encouraging my residents to participate in this journey made possible by you. Thank you, you are such an inspiration!

What activities do you have for Remembrance Day for Alziemers Residents ?
hi anita im sorry this is a bit late but maybe you could use it next time what I did is we made a memory tree with some branches from a tree put it in a planter or big pot then we made some poppies from card felt and one lady crochet some then we had a good old chat about the war and their memories and if they wanted to they could attach a note to their poppy and then put it on the tree on the day we put the tree in the middle of the room while watching it on the tele this went down very well
Hi I was going to get Residents to crochet Poppy’s for Remembrance Day. Would anyone have the patterns please.
Thank you for that idea Sally
Hi Julianne
Someone I know used to have the pattern I will try to contact her
In the meantime Julianne may want to try this fabric poppy

Remembrance Day Banner Posters and Biography Booklet of all our local Veterans. One example of all soldiers lost during war (so I do not identify a specific veteran without family permission)
Thank you for sharing this Darla
My residents enjoy watching the service on the TV but I also show the DVD 'Goodnight Mr Tom' earlier in the week. Many of our residents are of the age group that were 'evacuated' to the country during the war.
