This 40+ page 8.5 x 11 book was created with the smaller operator in mind to stay compliant with all regulations regarding activities for those with cognitive impairment or dementia. However, this book has served as a wonderful breath of fresh air among activity coordinators in the larger models as well. Designed as an in-depth overview of various approaches to activities for those suffering from Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease and other related Cognitive Impairments. It identifies the most recurring difficult behaviors to manage with a special spotlight on the role of activities in managing Sundowner's Syndrome. It shows how activities can be utilized to redirect or even prevent behaviors from occurring. It introduces assessment techniques for both the care staff and the client. It applies the system approach toward managing behavior, introduces different levels of activities designed to stimulate and redirect certain behaviors. It addresses the physical/psychological and emotional components to each activity. It spotlights knowing when to abandon an activity and when to move on to the next. It introduces activities as a marketing tool. It discusses and maps out how to create an activity calendar. Most importantly, the reader will get an education on how to lead the activities effectively. Most books on the market only give you the activities themselves, assuming that the reader knows the principles of leading the activities in a way which reduces failure by the client. Lastly, we offer the actual failure free activities which have been created by the author and tested over many years of increasing the quality of life of hundreds of clients. Many of these activities come with "jumpstarts" which are tried and true subjects and resources so the leader does not meet with failure!
