Xmas, yes it is coming and last year everyone received a good quality skin cream(men and women) This year all the residents will be asked to write a word in a christmas card and these will be given to another resident. The gift inside the card will be a book marker. Made from a paper clip using a cut length of grosgrain ribbon then fold the ribbon and loop through the sing end of the large paper clip looks great eary to see and it is the thought that counts and the residents will make these in craft workshop held weekly
thanks hope this is helpful

Iced patty cakes

I cook often with residents in our facility
They love it and yes it is slow, they take turns with the mixing
The smell of the cooking patty cakes fills the area
so it covers sensory, in many faucets
The residents wash up after the mixing and take pride in this part of the activity as most were home makers

Hello Patrica
Here a couple you may find useful
Folding up tea towels, the anti slip mats for shelving, satin squares, great sensory, this is good for the home makers in your care
Winding up huge balls of wool ( the extra thick wool fashionable at the moment for making scarves)
Wooden coat hangers unscrew the hooks and ask the residents to replace the hooks screw them back into the hangers
cut lengths if small rope make three or four knots in the length of rope ask the men to help you with undoing the knots
trust these ideas help you
kind regards
