November – The Gratitude Month

My residents love to talk, we often have discussion groups where I ask a simple question and a very long discussion ensues with so many different subjects it goes for ages. I can see these activities being very rewarding in my facility thanks for the ideas. Lisa

Hi violet welcome to the ride of your life. There is a great resource on this site that tells you where to start but the main thing I can say is get to know your residents read about them, ask family and other staff find out what they enjoy and just go with it and remember the main thing SMILE and have fun. One last thing we are all here to help so just ask. Good luck. Lisa

Balloon Games

Hey Judy what a fantastic idea I am going to add this to my program, I have invested in a couple of balloon covers so that we can use the balloons without fear they will pop and cause a problem. Lisa

Hi everyone
Thank you Lauretta your suggestions give me hope that there is something we can do. To the others struggling with a name, on my office door are the words Diversional Therapist, on my badge are the words Activities officer but I am known as the Recreational Activity Officer or RAO talk about an identity crisis LOL. I have the diploma and am studying the bachelor I dont really think it matters what they call us as long as they respect us, and dont think we just "Play games" all day. Lisa
