Thanks Solange for postcards exchange section. I hope this will generate a lot of interest and excitement within facilities and forge ties with other facilities.
I would like to make special mention of Elizabeth's bio from Feilding from New Zealand.
Her love for her work shone brightly. She is an absolute inspiration for anyone- including me that sometimes becomes discouraged within the workplace. You have made my day Elizabeth!
Cheers Kerry

Hi Debbie regarding the clown day I know of a Rao who got a pony in & had it outside for the residents to pat & talk with the owner. I hope you may be able to contact someone as this was very successful. Kind regards Fiona

The password exchange program has now been setup on the website - there is a new link at the bottom of the right hand vertical menu for members entitled 'Postcard Exchange'. Those of you who have already expressed an interest in the program have been added to the program however you may like to edit your details. Let me know how it goes!

Hi everyone, just wanted to say once again i am really enjoying this site. Im a newly appointed Lifestyle Coordinator at a high care facility and we are having our annual clown day soon. Our lifestle girls & staff will all be dressed up in clown suits, we are having a magician coming in to entertain the residents & will be making popcorn,fairy floss,icecream cones in sherbert & sprinkles & spiders. Has anyone any other ideas please ? if so i would love you to share them. Thankyou Debi :)

Hi Solange, I am currently working as an AO/DT in a NSW facility and I am very interested in signing up for the postcard exchange program you are trying to get up and running. I feel it would be good for my Dementia Residents to have pen Pals from other states and this sounds a great way to do it. Pauline

Hi Kim, thanks for your feedback. We have had a number of people expressing interest in participating in a post card exchange so we are creating a special section on our website to facilitate this. We'll send out a newsletter with all the details in the next few days.

Unless you work in aged care, or have family in a facility no one knows what it is! My problem with activities coordinator is that it sounds like all we do is play games and activities, when you all know that it goes deeper than that. I love this website Solange, it is a wonderful help!
Posted by: Marg | September 2009
Thankyou Solange I find your information so valuable as I have now been assigned to the Dementia unit at our Hostel with a lot to try to organise, your site has been invaluable to me.. I feel that I can try to bring life and breathe back to those... who live within at least giving them the option to join in what ever activity I undertake with them. Some times it works sometimes not. It's all a learning experience. I find that I get back so much from certain residence when I give to them either one on one time or a different type of morning tea, etc. They really don't expect much when you think about it.
Once again keep up the good work and communication to us all, I appreciate it.

Posted by: Margaret | July 2009
Hello Solange,
I have been working in aged care for the past few years with the desire to do more Diversional Therapy work. I see the need for a more Holistic approach to give those in care improvement and a reason to exist with fufilment and dignity. I now have that opportunity by my director to join the team we have at our facilty. Look forward to information from this site and learning from other skilled person's in this field of work who pass on valuable info for us all to give a better life to those with Dementia. Thankyou..
Posted by: Lenni | July 2009
Hi Solange, the site looks awesome and very easy to get around. Just wondering if there is any info on gentle seated exercise for dementia specific people on DVD? Im just starting out as a DT in acute high care and am looking for DVD's I can use in the morning for the residents. I have also passed on your site to other DT's at my facility and they are very excited! Well done, you have some great ideas and the site will be invaluable to me and others.

Thank you
Posted by: Lauretta | May 2009
The changing role of recreation staff in aged care facilities has definatley changed in the 25 years I have worked in this industry. Small group therapy/one-on-one is the only way intervetions that promote quality of life experiences for people who have major barriers to leisure can be succesful. Let us hope that the powers that be recognise the changing role of the recreation staff and see that they have approrite educaton. Many people who manage to stay in the community now may attend respite day care- staff there often need help to run good programs such as your low care suggestions.
Congratulations on a great site.
Posted by: Christine | February 2009
Thankyou for your activities, I am geting a bit stale on ideas, and as I have to do the planning for May in the dementia ward, you have give my residents a whole lot of new activities.

Posted by: Lindy | August 2007
Hi Solange, Your site looks fantastic. Would it be possible to include a sample care plan in your 'How to write a Care Plan' page. I think this would make it clearer for those of us starting out with writing care plans.
Thanks and well done with the informative site!

Hi Solange, Your site looks fantastic. Would it be possible to include a sample care plan in your 'How to write a Care Plan' page. I think this would make it clearer for those of us starting out with writing care plans. Thanks and well done with the informative site!

Finally, an Aussie DT site. WOW!! I'm a DT working in an Aged Care Hostel with a small Dementia Specific unit in Sydney.I usually view the US & UK Rec. sites. I will pass on this site to my DT & Rec. Officers friends. Keep up the good work!! Thanks
