Laundry Day Backdrop
“Purposeful activities” such as everyday household chores can be beneficial for their residents-in-care, living with a form of dementia. To support this activity, Creative Art Co has created a series of images (wall wraps) that will support the “cueing” of residents who may struggle to stay on task. This backdrop includes images of a washer and dryer, shelves containing laundry products, laundry baskets with towels and iron, an ironing board, a window showing hanging clothes, and finally a sign indicating “Laundry Day” with a retro-depiction of laundry tasks being performed. Care homes may then make their own arrangements according to the space they have available.
