Description
This comprehensive resource provides 52 weekly group session plans for working with older adults, each focusing on a key theme. Written by experienced occupational therapists, these extended multi-sensory reminiscence activities are designed to support memory, sensory function, confidence, communication, connection, and overall physical and emotional wellbeing.
Activities range from cognitive exercises like word games and food tasting, to group discussions and music and poetry sessions. The plans are accompanied by downloadable colour photographs and word cards to facilitate discussion and engagement.
These session plans have been developed to be suitable for people with a variety of abilities, including those with dementia, making them an invaluable resource for occupational therapists, care home staff, and anyone working with older adults.
