Last February I tried this activity with residents in a dementia care home where I used to volunteer. We used upcycling materials and the masks were vibrant and colourful! Everyone enjoyed it - not only residents. Relatives and nurses also created their own masks. It was great fun to everyone! Thanks for sharing this lovely idea. :)
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
Hopefully more will share this with their residents and staff
