I work in an aged care facility. What would you write on resident's evaluation when the resident does not participate in any of the activities despite of encouragement by team members? And communicated that living in an aged care is like living in a prison. Resident used to participate in activities but changed. when encouraged to join in outing before COVID 19, will plan to join but on the day will change the mind. A Catholic and used to attend the church service but declined to attend for a while.
Golden Carers is a phenomenal and creative resource of activities for the senior population and people with dementia. They also provide resources and support for the caregiver too. I liked all the different types of activities that were available. You could pick and choose from a plethora of items the activities appropriate for your group. Keep on doing what you are doing. So many people's lives have been touched and improved by your website. Your website is a blessing to many organisations.
