As a Activity Director and Dementia Practitioner working in LTC for over 20 years I want to thank you for your valuable work. I am going to use your youtube video to educate my partners in care and engagement at work.
Makes me feel so proud to be Canadian. What wonderful pair!!
You are spot on. Stage appropriate for adults disabled mentally with the mind of children. Our house is filled with activities they love.
I love her! I am dealing with a spouse with dementia and I am so blessed with her presentations.
I was so pleased excited when I saw this presentation, my husband was diagnosed in March this year, and he doesn't settle at all he was a farmer and used to being so active, I gave him a tool box full of tools and it keeps him busy for ages. Your ideas are brilliant for relieving boredom 😊
Great presentation! I have run up against dissaproval from families when their loved one was enjoying playing with doll house furniture and toys.But it worked.I've also been told by supervisors that something is too "juvenile".If you have something that works, you need to go with whatever that is, in my opinion.I will definitely use these ideas in my work.Thank you!
my mother in the UK has frontal dementia and I found this video very helpful, thank you
"Boredom is a disease of it's own" What a profound statement.
What a beautiful gift! You are both angels 😇 ❤
I made a miniature cornhole game for my husband, I filled air packing bubbles with sand, and used a photo box to toss the sandbags into. My husband loved it! We played together until he reached the end of Stage Six, after that he lost interest in the cornhole game. He died four weeks into Stage Seven of LBD.
Thanks so much for this. As a nurse working in rural AB, I’m going to show this to my manager and start brining play back into the lives of our LTC patients. It is so sad to see them sitting in chairs all day just waiting around for meds or meals. We can do better. Knowledge is power and I thank you for making this video and sharing this information. I’m going to do my part to share this with as many nurses as I can.
Fantastic! Engagement, resident centered...Focus on what works to decrease/end boredom....True sense of purpose....Building curiosity....Continuum with living "At the moment"....Re-educating "social norms"....Thank you.
This reminds me of what I came up with for my son. I gave up on the rest of the world but I did my best to “play attention” to him. Getting them dressed and fed and hair brushed and all that isn’t enough. They need play.
Thats the best video I've watched, so inspiring, Thank you
Thank you so much. I have a mother who is not able to get out of bed anymore and this is giving me some great ideas of things I can do to pass the time with her when I am able to visit.
This had a tremendous impact on me... Thank you :`)
This woman is amazing.
I wish I had seen this earlier. My husband died 10/08/22. I was his caregiver for the last 8 years. He did real well at home but I think there could have been more.
Thank you, very inspiring!
Great ideas! And so helpful for all of us to consider when with the elderly.
