Halloween

Another great opportunity to dress up, decorate, and create themed activities. Halloween in care homes needs some careful consideration though. People suffering with dementia already have to contend with disorientation and confusion, and having people and their environment look very unusual can exacerbate this confusion. So try and keep the festivities to well defined controlled environments such as a arts and crafts session, or a single evening’s event and be careful with your choice and placement of decorations.
