I found your article on the power of touch excellent. It’s possible to gain their trust by holding a hand, a smile means everything to a elderly person . Sometimes it is only touch remains as a form of communication. I have been putting your articles eg “growing old “ on the board in my workplace where I am activities coordinator-
I can totally agree what a excellent activity this is . I do use music in my gentle exercise class everyone reacts to music in a positive way . I will be trying this in the near future .
I have been a member for just over a month . It is such a great help in my job as a activity coordinator in a nursing home .so many new ideas to make life better for my residents.
I truly appreciate this wonderful resource, it never fails to provide something meaningful to add to our activity schedule every month. I love to share our activities too in the hope of sharing the joy! Thank you!
