2014-11-13 07:29:06 PM stephaniej We're doing memory boxes to hang outside of each resident's room on my dementia unit. Has anyone done these before, any ideas aside from usual family mementos, photos, etc.?

2014-11-13 07:29:14 PM kathyhughes I had a resident who was a Jehovah Witness and she would tolerate it.....
2014-11-13 07:29:28 PM debbie134 Jackie, just make sure that you have some activities that are not holiday related, and check with the family to see if a gift "just because we care" in the middle of December is ok
2014-11-13 07:29:55 PM katcarpender very very true!!!
2014-11-13 07:29:56 PM steelers7311 we did shadow boxes and the maintance painted and said we couldnt hang anything on the walls anymore ... we didtlisten

2014-11-13 07:30:28 PM kathyhughes I would make sure that there was a large picture of them when they were in their 20's so that they recognize themselves
2014-11-13 07:30:29 PM anthonyalviar who do you pay 175?
