Making & printing digital photo collages elderly

Making & printing digital photo collages for our elderly every week

Our residents with a faltering brain could use some extra support. This can be in the form of small collages with photos that we (the healthcare provider) have taken.

We have tried to give our residents more guidance by making a printout of recent photos. We then make a small collage out of it. Residents find this incredibly fun to see, it makes them happy and it gives them a clearer sense of what they have done recently. The image brings back the memories.

The photos all come from Familienet. This is a medium on which all photos taken during activities are collected. From this medium we collect photos from which we make a collage.

Are you good with computers, do you enjoy making digital photo collages and making people very happy? Then come by and get acquainted!

You will be guided by welfare employee Aafje Witzel.
