Firstly, THANK YOU! Golden Carers has been invaluable during this global emergency. I wanted to add a couple YouTube channels that really have been very popular with my program participants:
4K Relaxation Channel → Landscapes, animal habitats, and nature sounds
Stay Home #WithMe videos → Can be found on YouTube home page
Jeopardy!
Candid Camera Classics
Thanks again for all your help. Stay Safe
