Golden Carers has been a godsend to me. The person before me left me having to wing it, so I found Golden Carers through an internet search. I use the calendar and many of the activity ideas, but what I appreciate most are the shared ideas from other members. Knowing what works in other facilities is so helpful. I'm coming to the end of my first year, and can't wait to renew for another year.

To Maryann - I work as DT in a 42 bed mixed needs residential facility and have 31 hours allocated Monday to Friday for DT duties + admin duties + shopping etc - it\'s very hard. No weekend work allowed by management (no time left over anyway!). As far as I know, DTs do not attend to ADL duties unless you are rostered on duty as an AIN and have Cert. III Aged Care. It\'s ok to help out occasionally when needed but not as a rule as it takes away from DT time. Solange would be great to have section for DTs to upload their calendars or any paperwork so we get an idea of what is offered and how. I read of so many wonderful ideas but have no practical time to implement much unless I do more work from home so just keep to the bare minimum. Nice to read everyone\'s comments and feel part of a DT community. Annie
