I have been thinking myself that it would be great to introduce more activities for men. At my placement, we tried sanding wood for an arts activity that we were going to do and the blokes loved it. Have you a men's shed nearby? Maybe you could ask them if they have anything that they need sorting like screws, nails, things like that? You could even invite some men from the shed to come into the group with a simple activity that the men might enjoy such as painting/sanding toys etc or whatever the shed has going. cheers Rachel
So glad I found you, your site is such a blessing to me 😊. I have been a PCA for 17 yrs. I am in charge of making up the monthly calendar and coming up with new ideas. It was starting to be a real challenge. I encourage all my residents to join in daily but they need new things offered to hold their interest. So glad I took a chance and signed up with you!!! You're making my job a lot easier. Thank you and keep up the great work !! It's so appreciated.
