Hello you all, I've been doing activities with older adults for some time now. I have worked in both assisted living and in memory care. I recognize the importance of hearing what others find most successful and rewarding to their peeps. I have just taken a job as engagement director of memory and al at a brand new community. This community is trying to raise the bar in senior care. Please will you provide a list of the essential programs for AL and memory care, so I can roll those out promptly. Thanks!
Hello, I am the memory care manager at a small community with mainly late stage dementia residents. Do you have ideas for activities for my staff to do with them? In my previous community, I did noodle ball, bingo, some tv apps/games, sing-alongs, name that tune, exercise, scenic rides, had entertainment, crafts, patio time, word jumble, guess the spice, bowling, balloon toss, basketball, parachute, putt putt, dog therapy, coloring, and puzzles. Do you have any other ideas?
Thank you for many years of wonderful ideas that you have given me through Golden Carers. Your ideas and opportunities for networking with other activities people have been a great resource for me to access. Wishing your wonderful organisation all the best.
