Morning all, where ever we live in this wonderful world of ours. The Golden Carers is the ideal site for joining us all together. May be a new idea. We/I have started a monthly News Letter. The Residents are the reporters. One talks about the weather (easy in this country) a couple of the ladies give me an article on the state of the garden and whats growing and some of the wild life they see. then articles of 'days gone by' - only a couple of lines, perhaps about their school days and what uniforms they wore. Once one starts talking they all join in. I type/print the News Letter off and each person gets a copy and one is put on the notice board for staff and visitors can read. It has become a fantastic success so hopefully we can continue with it. Just as a pointer it's only two pages long and I try and put a couple of clip art and perhaps a photo in. Just an idea. Luv Jane
I really appreciate this website and this is my second year using it. I am a Activity Director in mental health. We have residents from all ages at our facility so all the resources made available here can be utilized in so many ways. I am so thankful for this site and will continue using the resources for my residents
