[Michlib-l] Outreach and Programming for Dementia Sufferers

[Kelaine Mish]

At Kent District Library, we have several BiFolkal kits available for
checkout.  I have not led a program with them, but I know several of our
staff and  adult care facility program staff have used them for programs
with dementia sufferers.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Outreach and Programming for Dementia Sufferers

 

We've been asked by a local adult care facility if we could come once
each month to lead a craft or other program.  About 80% of their
residents have Dementia.  There would be some supervision by staff, but
I need program ideas that are appropriate.   

 

Do any of you lead programs in adult care facilities and/or for dementia
sufferers?
