Hi Solange I am studying Cert IV Leisure & Health and doing my work placement at a day respite centre. I am amazed at the rigidity/rules that are cropping up both where I am and at other facilities too. For example, massaging and the use of essential oils are prohibited, even a gentle hand massage with some hand lotion is disallowed! I am new to the industry and feel perplexed by the difference in rules and regulations between workplaces. I have heard different stories from other students and at my local Diversional Therapy Association meetings. By the way, congrats on a great website with so many great resources and tips.
Thank you very much to Golden Carers for creating such an informative website. You have assisted me and my colleagues in developing a fun and engaging activities programme that is meaningful and interesting for our Bristol Care Homes residents. You are also our plan B in the event that plan A does not go as planned. We strongly advise all activity workers to join you.
