I will be joining my friends on the dementia unit of our facility this Easter. I plan to make activities fun and meaningful for them. As with all activities you have to go with the flow.

First it is hard to tell how many family members will be coming in or taking their loved one(s) out for the holiday. I encourage family members to take their loved one(s) out for a little while if that is possible. Even a short ride in the car can be nice

However there are those folks with dementia who would get agitated, confused, or not want to come back. For those individuals, I invite them to join us in our activities or have a special visit with their loved ones or friends.

Sometimes it is hard for family members and friends to figure out what to talk about. I suggest you have a visitors packet for them to use.
Here is a good book that will help you with that task.
