Hi Michelle and all, I have been working in a nursing home for mental health patients for 2 years now and have seen such a turn around in the residents attitudes, abilities and independence it has made my career change so worth it. Previously I worked in childcare for 26 years but this has been a real help in my activity planning as many resident's are unable to cope with higher levels of activity but thoroughly enjoy a children's rhyming story or a game of skittles. this site has been so helpful, I love my job!!
Songs for seniors I have just downloaded the quiz and all the lyrics. Thank you so much for the amount of time and effort this has taken. I cant wait to get my residents singing along and answering the quiz questions. Avril Westcliff on Sea.
What an amazing site with so many activities to stimulate our elderly people and to make them enjoy the togetherness of everything you offer as activities. I am from South Africa, Johannesburg and being part of such a huge "population" of carers having the same Purpose in mind, is a huge priviledge to me! I am the Nursing Manager of a Retirement home and keep on encouraging my residents to participate in this journey made possible by you. Thank you, you are such an inspiration!
