Our facility has happy hours as well. - they usually have entertainment eg. Harmonica Band, or play music ie: bing Crosby or something later works well kate
Hi Heather, yes our facility have 4 IPads to start with. One lady uses her's all the time, Skypes etc , loves it. Taking a little longer to convince others to have a go but they are asking questions so that's a good start. You have interesting App's listed, must give them ago. Thank you
I'm just wondering how may Lifestyle staff have volunteers to help them with activities, setting up etc Our volunteers have decreased and we really notice the work load; lot of work for one person just interested. Still love my role :)
Thank you for Chinese New Year ideas. Made these for the residents as they are busy making items for local Show, they were curious, some had a read, its good to acknowledge other customs & cultures
Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
