“Engaging Activities”

For a long time I felt that a practical book on ways to engage people living with dementia in meaningful leisure would be useful. I have been trying and collecting new ideas for many years.

There are general guidelines as well as some practical activities for people in the different stages of dementia. This book contains prepared programs to be used as a basis for providing quality activities at a day centre or residential facility.

All activities can be easily adapted by staff or family who care for the person living with dementia at home.There are themes, pictures to color, and templates that can be photocopied.

More information on Lauretta Kaldor’s Engaging Activites can be found here.

I work as an in-house consultant and trainer to recreation staff in aged care and have had more than twenty years of work experience with older people. I am also currently involved in providing activities for clients with early memory loss through Alzheimer’s Australia NSW.

I have been writing manuals for leisure staff working in aged care for the last twelve years. My manuals contain ideas on craft, reminiscing programs and games. My books also provide a practical guide to planning and documenting suitable leisure activities for clients in residential and day care facilities.

Over the past 16 years I have developed a series of resources for recreation staff working in aged care. Click here to find out about these manuals, programs and games and how you can buy them..
