Hi Sharon, here is a link with a beach theme for a little reminiscing. https://www.goldencarers.com/beach-reminiscing/3907/ You could also make some DIY Popsicles, and lemonade, flowers crowns for the participants and offer fruit punch, fruit Kabobs, and deviled eggs sailboats.
Decorate the facility with coloured pineapples, shells, and straw hats.

Hi I'm hosting a beach day for elderly with dementia I'm looking for idea's to go with it
We are hosting a "Spring Picnic" on Thursday. Our disability group is going to help set up and there will be decorations and outdoor games. You're definitely right, it is easier to organise something with a theme. Will let everyone know how it goes.
I forgot to update you on our picnic last year! We had a lot of fun just chatting and having lunch together unfortunately it was a bit hot for our outdoor games I had planned so this year I'm planning another one a little earlier on in Spring.
I cannot tell you all enough how useful your website is. I absolutely love it--it has so many resources that meet the needs of residents in all levels of care. I'm on your site daily. Thank you all so much for sharing with us!!
