Many facilities place name tags on tables used by older adults or have them wear name tags during recreation and events.

Using name tags they’ve made themselves may help residents feel more attached to the facility.

Here, we’ll introduce name tags and ideas you can create in craft activities.

We’ve also collected ideas for clips and other accessories that pair well with name tags and could be adapted for them.

Some older adults, due to conditions like dementia, may find it difficult to remember other people’s names.

If they don’t know the names of those seated nearby, it can be harder to speak up, and opportunities for conversation may be lost.

Name tags can help spark communication.

Here’s how to make a name keychain using plastic bottle caps.

Prepare caps in your favorite colors and cut them into small pieces.

Arrange the pieces on a sheet of baking paper, cover with another sheet, and press with a high-heat iron to melt the plastic.

Once it cools and hardens, cut it into your desired shape with scissors.

Punch a hole with an awl, add alphabet or other stickers, thread a chain through, and you’re done.

It makes a great little gift, so give it a try!
