Do you use reminiscing theme boxes for your memory care residents? These boxes are quite practical and save time as you already have the items assembled and ready to use.
Once you learn the preferences of each resident, you can gather items for their box so that it is personalized.
The reminiscing boxes are great to use for small groups, individuals, and family visits.
Small groups are great for reminiscing, storytelling, theme topics and so much more.
Individuals may use the theme box to sort, reminisce and rummage through their box.
Families that visit may use the reminiscing boxes to engage with their family member. This can help a visit to be successful.
The cost of assembling your reminiscing theme box materials can add up quickly. Try asking for donations and have your list ready with the items needed. Family members may also assist you in gathering materials for their loved one’s personal box.
A few ideas for reminiscing themes to try would be Teatime, Gardening, Travel, Cooking, Crochet, Sports, Quilting and many more! Boxes may be themed to special holidays and seasons too. The possibilities are endless.
