Our Alzheimer's Unit has 24 residents with the majority in early stages of Dementia and Alzheimers. We offer a wide range of activities such as sit and stretch, word games, music, book club and arts and crafts. Those are just a few. We have a full schedule from 9:30am to 6:30pm daily. The volunteers would assist with activities and helping residents write letters or just visit one on one with them. We have a lot of fun and I think they would enjoy working with our residents. |
