Are you caring for someone who is living with dementia? If so, you will likely be finding the coronavirus lockdown proving difficult, especially if that person (or persons) is in the later stages of dementia.
While some areas of society are gradually emerging from the shadows after weeks of isolation due to the COVID-19 outbreak sweeping the world, care homes and older people continue to shield themselves from the outside world until a solution is found. This may be a breakthrough in medication to halt the deadly symptoms or a vaccine, whichever comes first.
Activity Coordinators can often be seen as a godsend to busy care home staff in that they bring fun and laughter to residents whilst also freeing up some much-needed time for other carers to go about their daily tasks.
