I decided to participate this week because I want to share what we did in the dementia unit yesterday.
We worked on a give-back project. I let the residents sort through squares of material cut from the donated scrubs of the home's employees. They chose the patterns and colors they liked and then with some direction from them I arranged the layout of two lap robes on the floor.
I took pictures of the layouts and sent them to the unit's director who will sew them together and back them. Then they will be brought back for residents to add the little yarn knots.
When finished they'll be donated to veterans and the local paper is going to do a nice write-up about the unit and the residents.
