Caregiver Activities for the Week

Monday: Set one goal you want to accomplish this week. Write it down and brainstorm about how you will accomplish this goal. Next week we will refer back to your goal.



Tuesday: It's National Aging in Place Week. Check around to see if there are any educational events going on in your community. In Broken Arrow, Ok there is an event today discussing how scrapbooking can be an effective tool for someone with Alzheimer's or Dementia.



Wednesday: Write about whatever you are feeling today.



Thursday: With the cool weather here, it is a great time to curl up and read a good book. Find a book that interests you and try to read for a few minutes each day, and relax.



Friday: Are there people in your life you don't get to talk to as much as you would like? Schedule a specific day and time that you will talk to this person every week. Incorporating activities such as these into your schedule is a great way to make sure you stay socially engaged



Saturday: With Halloween around the corner, if you haven't already take some time today and think about what fun activity you and your loved one can do on Halloween to celebrate. It can be something as simple as getting candy to hand out to trick or treaters that evening.



Sunday: Plan and organize next week's schedule.
