Mom has been with me for 2 plus years now and recently my brother and I enrolled her in active day with her approval of course, since she has lost interest in everything we thought it would be good to get out and interact with others and get involved in some kind of activities. She never complains about anything and goes willingly but is still finding little to interest her. We have to work and are at peace when she is there but I'm left wondering if there is something else we should try with her?
Or is this just they way it is now?
Good Luck!
Much mahalo and God bless!!
Also talk to the staff about maybe putting 'her' in charge of an activity, even if it is sharing recipes! That way she will feel more a part of the activity and may begin to participate in more things around the center. At most centers the staff will include the participants in as much as possible so they are not just an 'audience' but part of the activity!
God Bless!
Why not have her 'bring' something she can 'do' and show others? Even if it is just a photo album, it will may get her involved with others, which is good!
