site mapResources for Recreation Therapy
Welcome to Golden Carers, a website providing support and resources for carers. Our industry has various titles to describe what we do: in Australia and New Zealand we are called Diversional Therapists, in the United States, Canada and UK, Recreation Therapists.Our job is to devise and implement meaningful leisure activities for those who for one reason or another find it difficult to get actively involved in recreational pursuits. We work in nursing homes, day care centers, respite care facilities, schools, and hospitals and at the homes of individual clients. Our clients are children, adults and seniors. They may have some form of handicap or be frail from illnesses and/or age.
