- Опубликовано: 31 май 2015
- This video is a professional development and education resource developed for aged care and dementia care staff and carers as part of a project that recently piloted the Montessori approach in two planned aged care activity groups in Melbourne.
The project was funded by the Commonwealth and Victorian Governments under the Home & Community Care Program (HACC) and was led by Alzheimer’s Australia Vic. Purposeful activities for dementia complements other professional development resources about engaging people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, including the Relate Motivate Appreciate toolkit. Purposeful activities for dementia was developed by Alzheimer’s Australia VIC for families and aged care staff.
Purposeful Activities or Dementia offers practical ways that carers - including activity support workers, personal care attendants and other aged care professionals - can work together to engage people living with dementia in purposeful activities at home and in social groups.
In Chapter 3, viewers are encouraged to offer opportunities for purposeful engagement based on the person’s strengths rather than what the person can no longer do. Self-esteem, identity and dignity are supported through activities in which the person is likely to succeed. Simple ways for assessing strengths are suggested under four categories of ability: sensory, motor, cognitive, and social.

This should be the GOLD standard for every care home. Period.
Hello. I am KOICHI BABATA. Nice to meet you! from Japan. I run a nursing care facility in Japan, Yamagata pref. Mainly, my job is to maintain senior’s health, using various music such as HIPHOP, HOUSE, REGGAE and Japanese folk songs. Music activities help the elderly achieve their goals, maintain their body functioning and promote relaxing.. your contents made me a lot of tips on you tube .
thank you !!
Amazing video. We frequently visit my father in law in a long term facility where he is, it is so discouraging and heartbreaking to see everyone parked in front of the television all day and night long. I wish this kind of care and planning was mandatory in all senior's facilities because every human being needs to be valued and appreciated, even with dimentia. Very well done.
Georgeous and so relaxing to watch👍❤️
Thanks and congratulations to the care giving team for providing us with most positive video on Dementia care and possibilities. Miraculous
Thank-you so much for this! I am a companion caregiver for an elderly lady. My responsibility is to keep her engaged; this was VERY helpful!
Love this video! Thank you for sharing! I work in our facilities MS Unit and love all these ideas ❤
Thank you for this video:) I'm a new activities director and part of my clients are in the memory care:) This was helpful
Thank you so much. I'm a companion to a recently assigned gentleman in a assisted living facility that is high end but dull, lifeless and the clients just go through the motions waiting to die.... I've been thinking there is a better way. I volunteered candy striper young in a nursing home like 3 decades ago that was much like the one in this video. Much more hands on and plenty of activities and purpose ... hoping I can share this and make a difference at the current facility.
Candy stripper!
I wish more of this kind of care was available. very good indeed. thank you
Hello Jeannie
How are you doing today?

Excellent video. Thanks much for sharing. This is an educational and insightful video for carers of aged care-recipients. I hear much of arts and music therapy intervention for patients with dementia. I am excited that we could do with horticultural therapy as well. It is also a good reminder that we must be person-centered when handling the aged care-recipients, and to capitalize on their strengths.
A very good presentation. As a student nurse this was very clear and informative. Very easy to follow. The reflection at the end of each chapter was excellent. Thank-you
LEarned a looooottt... Thank you ever so much!!!

Thank you for a superb video. This was very well set out, informative and interesting and I got a lot of excellent ideas about activities to help DP's engage. (Only drawback was the extremely irritating background "music"/tones towards the end of the video).
This video was so helpful!
That's great.
Thanks ☺️
Very informative
What a wonderful place I would love to work there.
Living in a black man country and not not a single black person on this video. A vert racist people!
The U.S. does not provide such good care for its senior citizens. It's always up to the family to provide for/pay for in-home care or in facility care. Many families cannot afford what the U.S. facilities charge and most insurances do not fully cover these expenses. If a family member has dementia then you have a whole new set of financial worries and Medicare does not provide such specialized care. I think we can learn a lot from other countries such as the UK and Australia. Our golden years should be comfortable and finance free. We have known this for decades and yet our government always has reasons for not providing comfortable care for it's seniors. They must remember they too will be a senior citizen one day.
i wanna live there too !
Very educational wish we could do all of this but because of COVID-19 our residents are all in their room. Please Lord let us come back to normal. Thanks for this educational video

Very informative, well-explained and accessible.
Just a little note - I think those people who cook (including residents) must wear hats/nets/scarves or have pony tail to eliminate the risk of hair and other particles falling down into the plate or food. It must be very hygienic when dealing with the food.
And thank you for wonderful video.
Kind regards
Not enough attention to it, at times, I'm one who wants to grow
We are now in February 2021. COVID has caused problems for us. My 73 year old Sister can not go out and do her volunteer work.
Seems every where I have looked there isn’t and direct gentle targeted physical exercise fir people with more severe dementia?
Wow
AGAIN!! WHY such LOUD MUSIC??? SO HARD to listen to!!! i LOVE the content but so hard to hear!!!!!
To provider
can't believe comment😯
Helping serving coffee?.....................Let me count to 10.
Why need live the place ?those old people can take care self not too old
Their bodies may work fine but their minds don't. Forgetting to take medication, leaving the house without getting dressed, leaving the stove on or the doors unlocked, etc.
Muhammad Ali (American Boxing) have alzheimer's before. That cause hipertensi isn't?
My dementia client refuses to help with anything because he says it's MY job to do everything.
Tiffany Mollica I’ve found that for people such as that, you can get them engaged simply by making a game out of them being the “boss.” I had a lady I took care of who was similar, so I gave her a whistle and stop watch and she timed me when I was doing chores. If I didn’t do it fast enough, she’s blow the whistle and say “chop, chop!” Then I’d say “yes boss right away boss!” It was made into a joke and we’d laugh all the way through my chores. That connection is always the most important thing.
Redmanish, I think that adds stress to the caregiver. Not only do we have to care for the client, we have to care for ourselves. I would not be able to do that, because it sounds demeaning as well.
Tiffany Mollica, find out more about the client's background from family and integrate an activity that she can relate. I work with clients with dementia and found a lit of physical touch goes a long way. Even just to sit with them. I play cards with one of them. It takes time.
Could you get him to write lists/directions to remind you what to do? Or see if he can remember the next thing you need to do & remind you?
At the last stage, all I can do with mom is push her in the wheelchair outside when its warm. She listens to blues music also.
That is more than you know. I use a lot of physical contact with my clients. 😁
Hand massage can be a good way to connect.
