Dementia Mural – The Pub makes activities easy

The pub mural is a perfect backdrop for many an activity.

There will be people in your care facility who went to the pub or a social club regularly as part of their weekly routine and there is no reason this should stop.

Clearly alcohol cannot be available all day, but as part of a routine, a pre-dinner drink or Saturday night entertainment, it can help create great opportunities for social interaction.

Dementia Mural – Pub Activities:

A traditional pub, with its tap room is a perfect back drop for many activities such as: 

• Pool or Darts space permitting
• Dominoes and cards or even a game of chess

These are all games that people may still enjoy playing and the pub is  the perfect setting.

Alternatively 

• Fun competitions can create social interaction
•  A large TV in the pub can be used for sporting events and films. Organise each week to ensure the fixtures are advertised and adhere to the plan.
• The pub is also a fabulous setting for parties and celebrations. Try to plan at least one festivity per month to ensure using the room becomes an integral part of life in the home.
