Green fingers

It is not easy to organise activitities for people living with dementia. Music is 1 of the activities in which You can reach those people s hearts and soul.
It is best when there s a 1 to 1 interaction. When the weather is fine , we like to have a walk with them through our citie and mostly it awakens their memory. With some of them i even went to museum , and that works out fine.In this pic our animating team is taking care of the plants together with our home residents. Somehow it has a relaxing effect. All in all it is not easy to keep a group of residents animated. Some people also like to be alone and some not. But above all the human touch is most important. Giving a cudlle being friendly , showing you care and listening to them now and then when needed. Also humour helps a lot.
