I'm all for sensory activities, but let's remember that sometimes we set residents up to "fail" as 80 percent of those with Parkinsons Disease and Alzheimers have no sense of smell. We need to look to other forms of sensory stimulation for them. Footspa with gentle foot massage is a winner for us!
This website has been such a tremendous asset to me in providing such great ideas. The clients have enjoyed the picture bingo, quizzes and I am looking forward to doing word ladders with them for the first time very soon. I also print out crosswords and word searches and make up booklets for them to do in their rooms. I will be definitely rejoining.
