Dementia Nursing Care Provides Halloween Activities!
Our dementia nursing care is superior to most, mainly because we provide exceptional service to our residents, but also because we like to celebrate Halloween with fun activities! Our dementia nursing care in Kansas City at Clover Care Home understands that enrichment activities continue to create meaningful and fun experiences for our seniors. The holiday season can bring about great memories for those living with Alzheimer’s disease, so our dementia nursing care will make the holiday fun and enjoyable!
Life enrichment activities continue to provide accomplishment through joy and purpose in daily activities. The needs of someone with dementia can change daily or even hourly, so understanding who they were prior to memory loss and who they are now, is crucial to our team meeting their individual needs. Our dementia nursing care in Kansas City offers a life enrichment program with regularly scheduled activities such as music therapy, Pets-for-Life visits, exercise, cooking, crafts, and outings. Along with our scheduled events, our daily random and “spur of the moment” happenings are what pull us together as a family. We listen to what our residents enjoyed while growing old and bring them moments that promote friendships and memories through the joyous events in their lives.
Halloween can be a fun and scary holiday for seniors living with Alzheimer’s, so knowing where to draw the line at keeping things fun is key. At Clover Care Home, our dementia nursing care makes sure that our holiday decorations are festive, but not scary. This includes things like colorful and simple paper chains, fall door wreaths and table décor, and pumpkin painting! We strive to include our Alzheimer’s residents in every activity, so making sure fall fun and Halloween activities are simple is important. Making crafts that are simple with few steps allows our residents to enjoy the community aspect of creating something while engaging them mentally in something new. Our dementia nursing care helps to make sure this process is fun but easy to accomplish in a short period of time.
Another way we ensure our residents living at our home in Kansas City enjoy Halloween and fall is to include them in our traditional fall food prep. Our residents enjoy making apple cider, pumpkin pie, and Halloween cookies together with our in-house cook – Laura. She also includes our residents’ favorite fall recipes into the menu rotation as well!
