What elements are considered when you think of successful activities for the elderly with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia?
Elements of planning and coordinating successful activities, we believe as activities specialists at the Day Care Center, are based on several aspects including consistent preparations and numerous research. The followings are the fundamentals that are derived from our hands-on professional work experience and we consciously pay attention to them when we plan our activities. Once these basic elements are established, then activities for our clients with memory impaired are successfully carried out. We will carefully look at every element with you here in our blog. Each point will be discussed separately in the series of “Elements of Planning and Coordinating Successful Activities.”
