Next Steps for Daily Spark
Daily Spark: An engagement program for memory care
The Initial Steps:
-
List each resident with their dementia/cognitive level and interests/hobbies.
-
Search person‑centered activities for each resident at https://giftofenrichment.com/Activity-Search and review the Activity Category (Puzzles, Matching & Pairing, Sorting, Numbers & Counting, Words & Letters, Creative Arts, Culture & Geography, Workshop, Kitchen Tasks).
-
Record each resident’s selected Activities and Activity Category.
-
Organize activities by resident, dementia level, and Activity Category. Place each activity and printed activity details in containers labeled Early, Middle, and Late stage.
-
For each Daily Spark session, bring out 2–3 Activity Categories per resident.
-
After the session, return all activities to the correct container.
