I work in a secure dementia wing and I do the residents nails as an activity. A lot of my clients have challenging behaviours and it is easier for me to do it, and I turn it into a pamper session, with a hand massage to finish. It is a good time for one on one time to chat with the residents. I am a registered D.T.
I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!
