A Facebook community specifically for this training experience to connect with & get support from other participants, so you get more effective, easier caregiving no matter how challenging your situation is.
Starting a new Activity position. This video was very helpful! 5 stars! Thank you :)
Thank you for your ideas I have been an activity asst for 4 yrs at a memory care assisted living I have done most of the ideas you mentioned.Its very challenging to be expected by upper management to be an "entertainer", with no training at all.I do my best every day, and create my own programs because that's the only way to get the job done.Its impossible to engage with 25 people at the same time, when they are in varying stages of dementia.I really believe the company I work for is delusional and just interested in money.I'm learning from the job so I can eventually work for myself doing freelance art therapy at assisted living and nursing homes.I watch you to get new ideas because it can get really boring if you don't have new ideas once in a while.❤️

I can relate to your story - I've just started working as an Activities Assistant with zero training. I'd love some advice from you if you have time 😊
@rebeccabrierton9718 I'm an Occupational Therapy Assistant student. You could try looking up OT resources and activity ideas. If your facility has an OT or COTA, I would definitely ask them for ideas. The occupational in Occupational Therapy refers to daily activities, so OT specializes in this kind of thing.
You spoke for all of us.
Thanks & IM A patient and would like to do more every day and have more friends. Maybe even some religious one day a week. I do need to get more so I can help planet because I’m 73 and I can feel my body needs a lot. I don’t wanna go backwards I wanna go forward and I’ve been through hell falling and breaking my shoulder in three places one leg doesn’t work right my back surgery they messed it up. Never mind I was a nurse and now I’m in a wheelchair but I’m getting out Jesus is healing me I know it! I’m already better.
As a new director o a memory care unit, this was extremely helpful.Thankk You.
I don’t have any loved ones with dementia but I have a lot of customers who do. I really am loving your channel.
"our patron saint, Teepa Snow" that's great!

Thank you! This a great way to think about activity structure. Appreciate the work you do. 💕
I came here for help and I’m still lost 🤦🏼
Thankyou for sharing.
What are the responsibilities of an activities assistant?
Great tips and info.
what is an example of a work activity to do every day ?
organize paper work, stuff that is not too complicated or physically demanding, but still productive.
Folding small towels, matching socks from laundry,drying dishes, putting dishes away in obviously piles, scrambling eggs,reading to young kids were jobs my aunt and mom did during their dementia.
It is especially nice to fold baby or kids clothes.
Why are you saying it like that? "damen-chia" is not how it's pronounced lol.
Just get d message or go to another video where they pronounce d word that u can understand ,please
