15 Ways To Honor Veterans And Their Families All Year Long
Hi everyone, It feels so good to be here!
My name is kemi, I am the engagement lead at St Catherines Nursing Home in Letchworth garden city.
I enjoyed reading this article Taking care of your mental health. Thank you Haley for your thoughtfulness though I have always practised most of the stuff mentioned especially putting off house chores to watch the television or just do nothing. lol.
Thank you so much for your feedback Kemi, and welcome to our community!
Hello to all. I’m new to Golden Carers and thankful for many new activity ideas. This Karen is from New Jersey. I work in Pennsylvania. When I logged in before it said Michigan.
Thanks Karen and welcome to the community! This issue has now been resolved.
Hello to all dedicated Activity Professionals. In my personal self-care program, I practice taking my work ‘one day at a time’, and I add to that flexibility, patience and positive mindset. Not easy some days! Following strict guidelines put in place because of Covid is presenting challenges. Adapting to changes can be frustrating. I am grateful to be of service to my residents, families and co-workers. Never lose hope and faith that we will get through this challenge! Carpe diem
Thank you for this...Like so many others I feel exhausted, and am now getting ready for the winter onslaught....residents not been able to see families at this time adds an extra burden to our day. That's why this site is so important to provide stimulation and interesting and fun activities..
Very much appreciated.
Thank you so much for your feedback Gemma. it's certainly been a challenging year for everyone. All the best to you, take some time out when you can to rest and recharge x
Self care is extremely important especially during these days of lockdowns with new rules and regulations in place. Practice self-care daily. Use all the tools we use with our residents: music, art, meditation and prayer. It works.
Hi Karen
Thank you for sharing this
i needed this! Thank you
All the best to you Emily in these difficult times. x
Thanks for the reminders. I think most of us are caregivers by nature and forget to take care of ourselves!
I would say the biggest thing for me is having several FaceBook groups that are supportive, giving each other ideas and lets us know that we ARE NOT ALONE. Its great to see the Activity Professionals supporting each other during this difficult time.
Thank you Golden Carers for all you do for our peeps!
Peace and health from California!
Thanks so much for your feedback AJ. Yes a sense of community makes all the difference. All the best to you. Keep safe x
Keep well and follow good advice....
All the best to you too Airinne
