Regarding the comment on Clowns. This works a treat for me at the hospital I work in. I found the residents love the colours and me being a clown acting the fool with them. I also go around to the wards and it is amazing how the terminally ill as with all the other patients act and cheer up when they see me. I just love the fact that the residents' who won't participate in many activities, as well as the patients have a good laugh at my clowning around. I just love seeing them all smile it really makes my day. Cheers team, from Lyn
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.
