Hi everyone I hope your all well I’ve recently started a job at a dementia care home and my main job in entertaining the residents, my first week I’ve been struggling a lot with everyone being so different and it being a big group to try and entertain I never no what to do with them, I feel staff look at me and think im not doing my job right as I sit abit blank just thinking what do to and trying to keep them awake and entertained, any ideas on what indoor/outdoor activities I can do with them? Most of my residents can’t walk very well and are very stiff.. I’ve tried things like coloring and puzzles ect but they don’t seem very into it and watch me do it set from getting involved.
