Hi Everyone, I work for a society that has two facilities in North QLD, Australia. We are wanting to bring some chickens and birds to be permanent residents here also, but keep hitting road blocks with our need to follow the QLD health guidelines for having pets reside at aged care homes. It seems that every hurdle we try to overcome, creates three more to tackle! I know there are facilities out there that have successfully kept chickens and birds, and must have all the appropriate work instructions and policies and procedures in place, and was hoping to be able to pick someones brain as to where to start! Thanks in advance :)
Hi Joanne, A simple activity is getting a large sized muffin tin and 12 small yellow balls (they are stress balls you get from a cheap shop) and get them to put them into the muffin tin and also take them out. There is a montessori site for dementia that has lots of wonderful ideas. Good luck Mandy Oats
We just got a "tablet" for our Activities group and we love having Golden Cares downloaded on it! It saves so much on photocopies and continues to make our day better:) Thank you!
