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.
Twice a month I run an activity session in our Retirement Village. I am just so glad that I used Golden Carers whilst working as a Diversional Therapist. You have so many amazing ideas to work with.
I am a retired Diversional Therapist but do we really retire uh uh. I now live in a retirement village and run a group for people who have lost their partners and have a tendency to stay away from activities as the majority of the village residents are couples. I saw a need to get these people out of their houses and it has been so much fun. Golden Carers is such a wonderful resource and one of the best is the Audience participation stories especially when I select a relatively shy person to be one of the characters. It is so much fun and brings out such confidence. I highly recommend this activity.
Golden Carers is AMAZING! We use it every day in one capacity or another. It has assisted to make our jobs easier as well as stepping up our activities! Thank you for all the materials and resources, keep up the GREAT work!
