#AlzChat check out natural history and woodland sites for local activities in the fall too. e.g. www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/visiting-woo...

And it’s so easy to do! #AlzChat

#AlzChat "If you can access a garden, mid to late autumn activities include cutting back perennials, planting tulips for spring, sweeping paths and gathering leaves. Without a garden, you can sow herbs and flowers in pots, re-potting as they grow..." www.alzheimers.org.uk/get-support/...

#AlzChat Thanks yes- there are so many wonderful ideas- have fun too, like these guys at Perdiswell Rose Care Home : www.facebook.com/reel/1091121...

#AlzChat Sounds of the Season: Create the Perfect Autumn Playlist... seniorshelpingseniors.com/seniors-help...

#AlzChat - I'm including this popular and effective activity in ideas for seasonal activities in dementia care: Paper-leaf-wreath-making! Paint a range of autumnal colours across a piece of thin card and cut out leaf shapes. Then glue these onto a card ring. Add ribbon or string to hang.

#AlzChat "Bird watching. Try putting out some bird feeders in the yard to see a nature show from the comfort of your kitchen window or living room..." www.aplaceformom.com/caregiver-re...

#alzchat dementia friendly Fall train ride as fun activity

great idea #alzchat

#AlzChat - among various creative activities in 'A Creative Toolkit for Communication in Dementia Care' (JKP publishers) is channelling artist Andy Goldsworthy. Use fallen leaves and berries to create transient patterns on tables or walls or benches. Take a photo. The results are often stunning.

#AlzChat - what about autumn poetry? ‘Fall, leaves, fall; die,flowers, away; Lengthen night and shorten day; Every leaf speaks bliss to me, Fluttering from the autumn tree - Emily Brontë
