Hi Violet I really cant believe that any organisation would employ you to be a recreation activity officer without any qualifications or any idea what to do. No doubt you will learn but it does seem irresponsible on their part. They have a duty of care and so do you to develop and initiate activities are suitable for an individual. There are lots of issues at stake, especially thier safety. Margare
I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
