2018-04-04 06:13:26 PM dianea1781 i love my diffuser

2018-04-04 06:13:38 PM katherinemparmley yes i have a few ladies who are blind and enjoy finding a calm place in the building
2018-04-04 06:13:43 PM jadebayo Yes. We have used it before to calm some residents down
2018-04-04 06:13:46 PM katherinemparmley yay!
2018-04-04 06:13:55 PM cchase for sensory...using diffusers is a great tool
2018-04-04 06:14:13 PM katherinemparmley we would like to get a fountain of some sort
2018-04-04 06:14:24 PM dcorvin i just search it and its very interesting
2018-04-04 06:14:27 PM suerahn A couple of my entertainers will go room to room to sing a song to these residents since it is usually too stimulating for them to be in a large group.
2018-04-04 06:14:33 PM cbockis we are renovating one of our rooms to be a workshop room with stations. looking forward to it
2018-04-04 06:14:49 PM katherinemparmley yes we haves some that go room to room one is a harpest she basically puts everyone to sleep
2018-04-04 06:15:00 PM dianea1781 araomatherapy using lavender is very calming
2018-04-04 06:15:07 PM joanec i used a diffuser also
2018-04-04 06:15:16 PM suerahn harp sounds nice
2018-04-04 06:15:16 PM katherinemparmley our activity room is basically set up with stations puzzles, art, movies, books
2018-04-04 06:15:22 PM cchase a fountain is great but be prepared for them to do the unthinkable with it...like drinking from it.... also running water assists when someone has difficulties using the bathroom
2018-04-04 06:15:26 PM katherinemparmley yes its hit and miss
2018-04-04 06:15:29 PM jessicas I cannot use a diffuser... I can't use anything with smell

2018-04-04 06:15:52 PM cchase so one of your residents might try to eliminate because they hear the running water
2018-04-04 06:15:55 PM dianea1781 thats interesting
2018-04-04 06:16:05 PM jadebayo Sometimes just relocating seems to help. Moving them to a different area of the unit, different scenery
