Celebrating 20 Years of Precious Moments for Our Seniors! Twenty years ago I set out to create a different kind of recreation business. I took my passion for reminiscence work and turned it into a line of unique, reality orientation products. Working from a small apartment, I designed these products from hand using only wood and other natural mate-rials. I then went door to door offering them to nursing homes and long term care residences. I started out with only 6 items, but as word spread and demand increased so did our catalog. Today we offer over 800 products!

Throughout our evolution from a small one room operation to a Canadian leader for senior activity materials, we have neverlostsightofourmission–Toofferthehighestqualityrecreationactivityproductsatthebestprices.Though

many of these products are not made by us, you can be sure they meet our stringent quality criteria. Our commitment to value remains as strong todayasitwaswhenwefirststarted.

As you leaf through the pages of our 20th anniversary catalog, you may notice some changes. First off, we have updated our logo to better reflect ourconceptofthehourglass(Sablier)–“Precioustimeforourseniors.”Wehavereorganizedcategoriesandimprovedthelayouttomakeiteasiertofindproductitemsandplaceorders.Ourlineofhand-maderealityorientationproductsandadaptedsignagenowcomeswitha“Precious Time”symbolforeasyidentification.Youwillalsocomeacrosspost-itnotesatvariousplacesinthecatalog.Thesepost-itsincludeideas,tipsandremindersthatwehopeyouwillfinduseful.Wearealsointroducingawiderangeofnewqualityproductsincludingimportantandexcitingadditionstoour cognitive and sensory stimulation collections.

Finally, and most importantly, none of our accomplishments over the last twenty years would have been possible without your precious collaboration. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your continued support. Here is looking to many more years of creation, innovation and collaboration!

Roll-O-TrumpThis is a great game that mixes Bowling and Card Game Trumps! Fun, safe and economical! Can be played by all your residents, regardless of their functioning level. For 2 or more players, or teams of 2 to 5 players. The purpose of this game is to accumulate points by rolling balls inthegamepockets.Eachofthe8pocketsisidentifiedbyatrumpworth8pointsforHearts,6 points for Diamonds, 4 points for Clubs and 2 points for Spades. 3 additional pockets chal-lenge participants by taking away 3 points or adding 10 more. The game includes 5 innings. One for each trump and one without trump. If a participant rolls the ball into a Heart pocket during the Heart inning, he doubles the score. If the ball rolls into another pocket, the regu-lar score is applied. During each inning, each player rolls 3 balls. After everybody has rolled 15 balls, the game is over and the individual or team with the highest score wins! You can adapt the game by having people throw from a closer distance or by playing fewer innings. You can even throw fleece bags to change the game but you need to be more accurate to get these to go in the pockets.

Physical exercise improves blood

flow to the brain, stimulates

neuron growth and reduces the

risk of cardiovascular disease.

Nowadays, research is not only

telling us “to use it or lose it”

but “to move it or lose it!” Intro-

ducing a physical exercise pro-

gram during the early stages of

dementia can be highly benefi-

cial. An ideal program should

include 3 types of exercises:

1. Movement : like walking,

dancing, cycling, swimming

or moving arms with a para-

chute

2. Balance and flexibility: like

stret-ching, yoga and tai

chi to improve coordination

?Did You Know that...

We often think of reminiscence as a structured

activity program we offer our residents during

the day. But reminiscence is also engaging

individuals in positive interaction throughout

the day. During virtually all activities and

routines of daily living – bedtimes, mealtimes,

bathing times, administering medication, etc.

– we can use objects to provoke memories in in-

dividuals with dementia. Familiar objects can

be a powerful way of touching the senses and

sparking memories. The book Remin'Action ex-

plains in depth how the use of objects and other

stimulants can be more effective than conver-

sation in rekindling memories in people with

Alzheimer's disease. Wherever possible, share

the benefits of reminiscence work with other

staff members at your facility.

The Talking Photo Album is for everyone to enjoy but it is

particularly appreciated by people living with memory deficits. Talk about it to family members and

caregivers!!

Talking Photo AlbumUsed by gerontologists specialized in the management of difficult behaviour, the Talking Photo Album is a very powerful tool to reduce and even stop some behaviours like aggressiveness, anxiety and apathy. The most efficient way to reassure anxious residents is to create a diversion verbally or by using an exterior stimulus. When you offer a resident a Talking Photo Album filled with pictures of his life and voices that are dear to him, this will help him reminisce about happier times in the past when he was in control of his life and sur-rounded by loved ones. This superb imitation leather photo albumholds24standard4”X6”photos.Allyouhavetodois insert photos in the transparent sleeves and record a 10 second message per photo. The recording mechanism is really simple. The quality of the sound is impressive. You can make the recording yourself but if you ask family mem-bers to bring photos and comment them while visiting or to prepare the album at home, the results will be even better. When the resident opens the album and sees the photo, he has to press a button. Sticking a red dot on the button or writing "Push Here" is a good idea. He can then look at the photograph and listen to the message as often as he wishes. This is an extraordinary gift for any resident. Talkabout it to familymembersandcaregivers!Size:51⁄2”X71⁄2”X11⁄2”.Batteriesincluded.

Remin’Action - A Guide to leadsReminiscence Groups with SeniorsThis Guide is the perfect tool for you to organize reminis-cence groups with seniors at all different functioning levels in various settings: community centres, residential homes, adapted living spaces, long term care nursing homes, etc. For over a year now, Marie-France Dozois, owner of Concepts du Sablier, has travelled across Canada, training activity professionals and nursing aids on this new inno-vative approach to reminiscing work. It has been a huge success!Sheisnowtrainingcollegestudentsfinishingtheirleisure course. This Guide is a complete summary of her workshop that will enable you to start your own reminis-cence groups. The Remin’Action Guide is especially useful in helping with the technical side of organizing a group, providing many details such as who should attempt the activity, how many participants there should be, when, where, and how it should take place, etc. Also, it is full of advice on how to improve communication with people with dementia in order to get more out of them in a group setting. What are the 10 best things a leader should do to have a successful group? What should you do if someone starts crying after recalling a sad memory? Why is life review so important? How do I get participants to get involved with each other? What are the best triggers to use?These are all questions towhich you’ll find answersin the Remin’Action Guide. The secret of Remin’Action is in the use of the right triggers when doing reminiscence activities. As an example, if you have people guessing what asmellisfromacontaineroranobjectandtheycan’tfindit, the activity will be meaningless. The Guide suggests that you always tell people what they are about to smell. Why? We think that in a reminiscing activity, what you really want to achieve is to have people recall a nice memory linked to the smell you have presented them with. Is it impor-tant that they guess what it is or should they just put their energy into trying to remember a special event? We know that once people recognize the smell, the memory comes to mind much faster and without stress. Try it! The second part of the Guide, "Popular Themes", includes over 100 acti-vities using the Remin’Action approach. The activities are listed in chronological order so you can start with a partici-pant’s early life, then move on to their youth, adolescence and adult life. Each activity includes a list of triggers you should get to do the activity, music you should play, etc. For each theme, you can use different activities well des-cribedinthefirstpartoftheGuide:expressingoneselfona chosen subject or on various objects, describing pictures, art or drawings, using costumes, music, etc. Spiral bound. 110 pages.

?Did you Know that...

A person with Alzheimer’s must,

one day or another, hand over

control of their lives to others.

The introduction of a doll into

their daily life may restore that

control by allowing the indivi-

dual to feel responsible and useful

once more, despite their demen-

tia. For one who has raised or

cared for children, loved and

cuddled them, caring for a doll

offers an ideal substitute that

makes it possible to give of them-

selves rather than only receive

care and affection from others.

Our senses enable us to engage with our world in a variety of complex and meaningful ways. Any reduction of input from our senses diminishes the quality of our life. As we age, all our physical senses gradually become less acute. Alzheimer’s accelerates this decline and deprives the individual of the pleasure that comes from meaningful sensory stimulation. This deprivation can result in a range of negative outcomes including stress, anxiety, depression and withdrawal.

Multisensory stimulation has become an important approach to meet thesensoryneedsofindividualswithdementia.Theapproachusesspecificmaterials to stimulate the sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste to improve cognitive functioning and emotional well-being.

This year we are expanding our collection of sensory stimulation activities and materials. For your convenience, we have organized the multisensory section of our catalog according to the primary sense these activity materials are designed to stimulate. Some categories, cooking and gardening for example, stimulate multiple senses whereas others like aromatherapy stimulate only one of the primary senses.

We invite you to explore combining activities to create your own multisensory experiences for your residents. For example, try introdu-cing essential oils like Tangerine or Peppermint during your arts and crafts activities. These essential oils are known to increase alertness and inspire creativity.

We would enjoy hearing about your experiences. Which activities work best with your residents? Do you have a new idea or suggestion you would like to share?

How to use these games with your lower functioning residentsBefore starting with aromatherapy, consider what your expectations are for a reminiscence activity with seniors with cognitive impairments. Your goal should be simple and keep in mind that an aromatherapy game should be a FAILURE FREE activity. Why not try identifying various scents for yourself. You’ll realize it’s no easy task! But what you want is an activity where participants remember pleasantandcomfortingexperiences.ITISNOTAGUESSINGGAME! Guessing and remembering would be too complicated and confusing for your clientele. We suggest you tell all participants what the scent is BEFORE handing them the diffuser so their brain can better prepare itself to identify the scent. Then all that remains for them to do is to remem-ber an experience linked to the scent and discuss it with the group. And that itself is quite an achievement!

?Did you kown that...

Using the sense of smell can transport people back to their childhood.

It is called “emotional memory”. Studies show that our sense of smell

is the most powerful of the five senses to stimulate the memory. This is

explained by the fact that when the nose captures a smell, it is sent

directly into our limbic system which is the centre of our emotions and

memory. It results in the emotion preceding the memory of an event,

which means that you will feel happy or nostalgic before even realizing

the nature of the smell! Use some household items such as wax or Pledge

during your next reminiscence program and your residents will live a

great multisensory experience!

Individuals with dementia are at

high risk for weight loss because of

the nature of the disease, the wan-

dering and motor restlessness that

increases the energy needs and the

fact that they don’t have the nor-

mal urges to eat and drink. Amne-

sia, aphasia, agnosia and apraxia

can cause clenching teeth, refusing

to open mouth, spitting food out, etc.

An activity program using foods can

be planned with the dietary staff to

increase appetite, calorie intake and

make mealtime more pleasant. Apple

sauce, pancakes, cookies, biscuits or

rolls, pizzas, are cooking ideas that

have been successful with residents in

long term care settings. Asking them

about what they would like to cook

will maximize the potential benefits

When a person is agitated or stressed he or she has to start colouring it from the outside and work toward the inside for improved concentration and renewed energy.

?Did You Know That…Art may be therapeutic, but doing art

isn’t necessarily therapy! When you

play with your dog at home, it is not

pet therapy. When you plant vegetables

in your garden, it is not horticultural

therapy. Similarly, when you paint a

serious picture as a hobby, it is not art

therapy, although it may have thera-

peutic effects. Why do we label such acti-

vities as therapy when people living with

Alzheimer’s engage in them? Probably

because we don’t really believe people

with this disease can truly enjoy such

an experience as we do, we doubt they

remember it, and therefore we do not

encourage art experiences as an inte-

gral part of their everyday life. WHAT IF

WE WERE WRONG? Don’t forget that

because people living with Alzhei-

mer’s tend to express what they

think and feel at the moment, they

are natural artists and natural

audiences for artistic expression.

I’m Still HereA Breakthrough Approach by John Zeisel, Ph.D. I’m Still Here is a much-needed, glass-half-full look at the disease that shows how to connect with someone through the fog of dementia and build a relationship with the person within. The author is an innovator in the non-pharmacolo-gical treatment of Alzheimer’s. If we employ the uncompro-mised parts of the brain, we can have vibrant and meanin-gful relationships with people who have the disease, who can be highly creative and emotionally intelligent. It’s possible to connect with these individuals by engaging their abilities that don’t diminish over time, such as unders-tanding music, art, facial expressions, touch, and the deep need we all have to care for others. In I’m Still Here, the author outlines this approach - which is used in his ground-breaking residential treatment centers - and demonstrates how people can incorporate it into their relationships with those who have Alzheimer’s. Soft cover. 262 pages.

?Did You Know That…

Here are 10 recommendations to help orient persons with

dementia to reality and to their surroundings:

1. Eliminate unnecessary stimulation that does not address them

2. Use clear signage at eye level

3. Identify rooms using a doorplate with a photo or an image

that they recognize

4. Use colours and contrasts to indicate and identify specific

areas and objects

5. Use glare-free lighting. People with dementia feel more secure

when they can see their surroundings well

6. Indicate the time and the date with the help of a reality

orientation board

7. Clearly indicate the daily menu to stimulate appetite

8. Post daily or weekly activities using large letters in easy

to view area

9. Remove objects or displays that can obscure a reality orienta-

tion board

10. Paint door frames and walls of prohibited areas in the

same colour

?Did you know that...Asking your residents for their help on a regular basis can be an

important part of your Reality Orientation program. Everyone appre-

ciates feeling needed and valued. Try asking your residents to help

you with simple tasks they are still capable of performing. For example,

you can ask a resident to help you change the calendar or menu at the

activity board. Turning this simple task into a regular routine brings

more structure to their day. Most importantly, it provides an opportunity

for your resident to feel a deeper sense of engagement – and for both of

you – it’s a chance to bond.

Invite family members to get involved in the making ofthisMemoryCasebydonatingsignificantobjectsfromthehouseoftheirrelativeandoldpicturesthatwillbringcomforting memories to mind. The Memory Case is also the perfect way for residents to get acquainted with one anotherandhelpscaregiversfindcluestostartaconversationthatwilldistractthepersonormakethemfeelmoresecure. For example, if a caregiver has to give a medical treatment to an anxious resident, talking to him or her about a personal fact taken from the Memory Case may calm down the resident and make this experience a lot more pleasant for everyone. Made of honey stained wood, this solid case has been improved to make it easier to manipulate the objects inside the case. All you have to do is lift the upper frame. The non-reflective window is attached to the frame so you have free access to the inside of the case. A security device is installed on top of the case to discourage curious residents.

" life Panels, often designed by family members, help people find their rooms and give them reassurance, ownership, and a sense of being someone special"Moyra Jones Gentlecare™

?Did you know that...In 2004, 100 frail seniors from

7 European countries partici-

pated in a memory box project.

With the help of care givers and

artists, these seniors put objects,

photographs and texts repre-

senting themselves into memory

boxes. The inclusion of pain-

tings and drawings in some of

the memory boxes greatly en-

hanced the artistic quality of

these ‘Life Portraits’. Then, these

boxes traveled 13,000 kilometres

to be presented to other seniors in

participating countries. Through

this exchange of memory boxes,

seniors shared their life expe-

riences with participants from

other countries and discovered

that, in many cases, they had

much in common. Does this give

you any ideas?

Concepts

In everyday care and specially in emergency situations, you and other caregivers must rapidly identify the needs of residents, while respecting their privacy. Our Visual Identification Concept allows you to do just that.

# 500 • Pictogram $1.85________________________________________________________________# 501 • Coloured token without pictograms $0.95________________________________________________________________# 502 • Slider for 8 pictograms $6.95________________________________________________________________# 503 • Slider for 6 pictograms $5.75________________________________________________________________# 504 • Slider for 8 pictograms with space for name $10.50________________________________________________________________# 505 • Supplement for magnetized slider $1.00 / slider

The Visual Identification Concept consists of a series of pictograms (small drawings) measuring 1” X 1”, designed for rapidly identifying the needs of residents while respecting their privacy.

Pictograms are inserted in a metal slider with a locking

device on each end. The slider can be installed in a

horizontal or vertical position close to the resident. 1 to

8 pictograms illustrating the resident's specific needs

can be put into the slider. When a nurse or nurse's

aid has to move or assist a resident, he or she simply

consults the pictograms which quickly supply all the

required information. Thanks to this concept, it is no

longer necessary to consult the nurse in charge or the

medicalfile.

TheVisualIdentificationConceptisnotanendinitself.

It is designed to complement the work of the nur-

sing staff. It has been proven that its daily use greatly

increases the quality of care as well as the relationship

between caregivers and residents, and that it also

reduces the incidence of accidents in the work place.

If those in charge of the project properly explain the

Concept to the caregivers and succeed in generating

enough enthusiasm, the caregivers will readily adopt

it as a matter of personal conviction. What a positive

achievement for all those concerned!

The pictograms have been divided into twelve (12)

categories to assist you in making a better choice and

allow you to determine which categories you want to

include in your project. Not all categories have to be

used. One can decide to start with three or four cate-

gorieswhentheprojectisfirstimplemented,andadd

others in the months to follow.

• A Fast and Easy Way to Provide Better Quality Care

• Health and Security at Work

• An Emergency Evacuation System

• A Measure of the Efficiency of the Nursing Staff

• Programs to Maintain or Increase the Independence of the Resident

(Four colors of pictograms for different capacities are also available.)

What about "Confidentiality of Information"?Confidentiality of information is a subject which has been met with a lot of controversy.Lawsprohibitingthedisclosureofinformationsoastosafeguardthe confidentiality of medical files certainly do not take into account some of the problems experienced by today's nursing staff. All caregivers would like to find ways of improving the quality of care while respecting the privacy of residents. But how can this be done if visual means are rejected? Our picto-grams never reveal the diseases from which the residents may suffer. They are coded, and only the persons working with them know their significance. With the exception of the caregivers, who else would even be interested in them?

Getting family members and independent residents to sign an agreement form is an excellent means of confirming your choice and also provides an opportunity to explain the reasons for adopting the Concept to the families and to the residents themselves. Except in very rare cases, all families readily accept a pictogram concept aimed at personalizing the care given to their relative.

The "life Story Card Holder" Practical • Lightweight • EfficientFollowingsuggestionsfromgeriatricneuropsychologists,andforthebenefitofallstaffmembersofnursingfacilities,wecreateda practical and effective tool to help prevent difficult behaviours related to dementia. The "life Story Card Holder" is used to ensure and coordinate the consistency and continuity of the client-based approach. More and more nurses prescribe the use of"LifeStoryCards"intheirunitsfortheirresidentswithdementia.

Having a summary of the life story of your residents written on small cards will make it easier for staff members to establish a positive contact with them during the less pleasant moments of daily care. Knowing positive details about the life story of your residents will help the staff prompt personalized conversations that will have the anxious client feel more comfortable and collaborative and reduce the onset of difficult behaviours related to dementia, such as aggressiveness and restlessness.

The red square means that the person is heavily dependent and must be eva-cuated, the yellow square means that the person is partially dependent and may need some help to leave, and the green square means that the person is independent enough to leave on their own.

Senior’s most popular swings!

"Duo" and "Quattro" SwingsThese great swings were specially created to enable two to four people to swing independently in a secure and comfortable manner. They are the only swings on the market with a patented auto-locking chair mecha-nism. The chairs are anchored in the swing structure while they are outside during the summer but can be taken inside in winter to provide comfortable auto-blocking chairs for your residents.

Because of the special auto-blocking mechanism, the chairs only swing while people sit in them. There is no sud-den movement when the person sits on the chair and starts to swing. As soon as the person gets off, the chair blocks au-tomatically, as there is no more weight on it. These swings offer great stability for those who have balance problems.

To ensure the constant safety of users, a solid central metal ramp provides stability while they get on and off the swing. There is also a metal ramp at the foot of the swing to keep residents from hurting themselves and help their feet glide onto the swing floor. (For pictures and more details on this ramp, please visit our Website). The solid sand colour aluminum structure of the swing and chairs is protected against rust, the floor is made of ultra resistant plastic, and thepolyesterfire-resistingfabricoftheroofandchairsdoesnot require any special cleaning.

Duo SwingFor 2 people. Includes the complete structure, the roof, 2 sand coloured auto-blocking chairs, hardware, and assembly instructions.Size:25”X921⁄2”.

Auto-Blocking Chair with stabilizerDo you need auto-blocking chairs for your balconies, gardens or inside your care units? These chairs offer the same characteristics as those built into our two swings. They include stabilizers for solid comfort and maximum security.

# 28049 • $595________________________________________

Chair stabilizerWhen winter comes, you can remove the auto- blocking chairs from your swings and use them indoors. These stabilizers will let you do it. Easy to install, the stabilizers ensure the legs of your chair remain safely in place. One set of stabilizers per chair.
