Have any of you got some ideas of positive things to do with your loved ones when you go to visit them please?
Visiting can be a strain and often a visit can be made into a very positive experience for our loved ones if we can occupy them rather than sitting there and conversation being difficult. I find this myself, with Mum hardly now talking, the way I cope is to pamaper her, which she loves and this in turn helps me, knowing that I am giving her some pleasure.
The things I have tried are
washing, drying and styling her hair
doing her nails
massaging her face neck and hands
sorting some simple things out like taking my cutlery tray and cutlery (minus knives) me washing and mum drying and sorting them out.
photo sorting and discussing
dusting little ornaments
I have read
playing snap
foot spa
There must be loads of ideas and suggestions that we can swop, can any of you help please?
