What you need
Intro
People spend their whole lives doing the same routines – day in, day out. But when you move into a care setting, so much of what you used to do for yourself is done for you. Sweeping and dusting, for example, would have once been a normal part of everyday life.
Sweeping and dusting are certainly not the most glamorous of tasks, but they’re great activities to help reconnect people with their past lives, as they’re so familiar. Plus, they give people a real sense purpose and achievement.
You can do them one on one, or give someone a broom or duster, so they can move around and clean at their leisure!
