Hi Sandra, I have the same problem where i am and we have mostly men. We do lots of one on one and reminiscing, music and sensory. cutting nails can be very relaxing for most of mine seem to sleep while i do it. I was told that even for the residents to watch an activity, as long as they are engaged, is an activity. most of my residents sleep and say no to most things...we just go with the flow, best of luck i am sure you are doing a fantastic job :)
Your website is wonderful! I use it almost on a daily basis. My people LOVE the word ladders! They can't get enough of them. I will continue using it as long as I'm working as an activities person!
