I love Golden Carers! When I first became an Activity Aide, I spent hours scouring the internet looking for meaningful activities for elders experiencing cognitive decline. Then I finally found Golden Carers! I’ve since passed along “the find” to the Activity Director where I work.
Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is so much more than a great activity resource. It’s an education in how to bring “life” to both workers and the elders we support.

Obviously DT involves a lot of informal 'counselling', whether it is a group activity or one-on-one. But does anyone promote personal counselling as being a recognized service, is it a formal process or just visits etc. I am a DT but not a professional counselor, even though my job requires a constant need for those services
I record it as 1:1 emotional support. Sometimes residents just need someone to listen to them in an unhurried fashion. It promotes trust and may also serve as a way to encourage participation.
