 Tell me and I forget, Teach me and I remember, Involve me, and I learn. *Ben Franklin  Welcome to "Activities" Page! "Saving Grace" would like your help finding innovative information on activities to use as caregivers. We are interested in innovative ideas for activities in all settings from home care to institutional care. Many of us have visited nursing homes only to find many of the residents wheeled outside their room and that is where they stay throughout the day, with little to do. Many home caregivers need ideas! Please let us know if you find any of these therapies helpful. If you have other ideas please let us know so we can include your thoughts and ideas on our site. Please visit our message board linked at the top of the Web Page. Let us hear from you! grace@vcn.com Thank you for visiting.
