Hi Angie! One great alternative is having pram or stroller with baby dolls inside. This helps residents with Dementia, preoccupied. At times, they would also hold the dolls (specially ones that talks or make sounds) bringing back their nurturing behavior. Of course, monitoring is always required.
I'm thrilled that I discovered this marvellous site. It has become my "bible" for ideas, information and creativity. My clients absolutely love the activities I've picked up from Golden Carers. Thank you.
