Cultural connection for Middle Eastern residents
There’s growing recognition of the importance of culturally-appropriate activities for elders from non-English-speaking backgrounds - especially if cognitive decline or dementia is present.
Aged care residents from Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq and surrounding areas are transfixed and transformed when they see a bellydance performance, with carefully chosen music that transports them to their youth. There’s a strong nostalgia factor: you’ll see them happily swooning and swaying, singing along, dancing with eyes and hands and even getting up if they can. It’s magic!
Visits to individual rooms are also possible if you have some residents who aren't able to come to the common room, but would especially appreciate this taste of ‘home’.
