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 :)
So glad I found you, your site is such a blessing to me 😊. I have been a PCA for 17 yrs. I am in charge of making up the monthly calendar and coming up with new ideas. It was starting to be a real challenge. I encourage all my residents to join in daily but they need new things offered to hold their interest. So glad I took a chance and signed up with you!!! You're making my job a lot easier. Thank you and keep up the great work !! It's so appreciated.
