Two short things to report. First, I tried the written note with a resident who asks repetitive questions. (See - Leave a Note, from 11/30) It worked! I used an 8.5x11 sheet of card stock and a colorful marker. One of her questions is whether her children know where she is. The note said, "Mary's children know where she is." She read the note on and off and stopped asking the question as we did a craft project and found that that was enough for reassurance.
Number two, for those of you who've purchased Book Two of creative ideas. The project for dying silk scarves with tissue paper lists the company for purchasing silk scarves as Dharma Trading Company. However, to find them on line it's dharmatrading.com, NOT dharmatradingcompany.com. They're two different companies. The dharmatrading.com will get you to the scarves.
Thanks to an activity person who's gearing up to create some awesome scarves for that information.

That technique of using print rather than spoken language is really interesting and valuable. I've passed this post and info along to friends in the field. Thanks Pat! Congrats on book #2!
