A new activity has been posted by a Golden Carers member: Picture notes for family

Our care home has gone into Lock down, no visitors and no outtings and this week due to certain concerns the residents are being isolated in their rooms. We have 38 residents, the majority have dementia. I have been going from room to room distributing Magazines, crosswords, wordsearches and colouring to those that can do these activities but im struggling to think of what else to do with them, a few are happy to chat but others not. I'm currently the only Activities coordinator and i'm pregnant have been advised to keep a safe distance from residents which obviously restricts what i can do with them. Any ideas will be very welcome thanks in advance

Hi Susan i am going to give this a go i think its a great idea will let you know how we get on.Thankyou for the idea.
