Hi Deb Where in Canada do you live? I am in Brisbane, Australia, but am Vancouver born with relatives living in Newfoundland. I was thinking of finding an overseas facility to exchange a monthly email - like a pen friend style - to be shared with our Residents. (Our facility is 58 Residents, low and high care and dementia.) Maybe I would share the email at happy hour. I have Residents interested in Canada and who have travelled there. Any chance you might be interested? Or could forward my interest to someone else? [email protected] We could probably come with all kinds of ideas if you had the time/interest? I've already checked the site golden carers have given you for Canada and love it!
I really love your website. I still find it incredulous that this site exists. I know how hard it must be for our Lifestyle teams to keep coming up with ideas and activities and to now have found this site - WOW. I really do think it says a lot about the immense value of community collaboration - because this site is about that! so I am immensely proud that people, especially older people, may be benefitting from this wonderful resource all over the world.
I love, love this site. I am from Canada and I was wondering if you have anything that pertains to our Country?
Thanks Deb
Thank you so much! Yes we have a category dedicated to Canada and many Canadian members.
