: These were simple questions and I think we all knew what this person was asking without getting wound up. : This board is here to share ideas, and if someone has a problem with a posting, they should e-mail them instead of ridicule how something is worded. We are talking amongst professionals and I am sure we do not label these activities as "low functioning" on our calendars. I for one, didn't think twice about the wording, but knew exactly what the poster wanted. If they had asked what your top ten high functioning activities were, I am sure no one would have said anything. The wording is simply a way to grab your attention and get the point acrossed. : For me, activities are not designated for any one population of people, but the independent residents certainly know what is at their level and what may be geared towards residents who suffer with dementia. : Here are some ideas: : Hand Massage : Trivia : Exercise : Today's News : Spelling Bee : Word Games : Reminiscing : Men: : Men's Night Out : Men's breakfast : Video geared toward a man's interests : Hope this helps! : : : : I am taking a survey? : : : What are your top ten low functioning activities? : : : What are your top men activities? : : : Thank you in advance. : : : : Please don't put the functioning level before the person. All activities are to be developed based on the individuals' assessments. You can modify activities to meet the functioning level, you should not be trying to modify the people. The same with activities for men. It should come from their assessments, preferences & choices. Hope this is helpful.
