Hi Wendy ...my centres have a large number of men with limited cognition, and or mobility. besides quizzes I struggle to find something they would enjoy. Most of them are there to give their wives respite and simply are not motivated to do anything, I also have a predominantly femaie staff. Men's background a broad range of interests as well some like golf, all like sports, some were white collar and others blue collar workers.
I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)
