Golden Carers has been such a help in increasing the range of activity sessions we provide. Our residents love so many of the activities available. It’s also lovely that we can share our own ideas to help others. I’m so glad we signed up to Golden Carers - I’m always recommending it to other activity coordinators locally.

Trying to get ideas of how to get seniors to play games or interact with other residents of the home.
Hi Claudette
Here are some ideas
Tell the resident you need her help and hopefully she will help you
Tell the resident that her doctor wants her to go to activities
Tell the resident that her family wants her to go to activities in fact invite her family to come to some of the residents activities
I never asked if a resident want to go I would say should we go now or in 10 minutes
Send her a personal invitation
If I think about this I'm sure I can, come up with more but that's all I have right now
Here are some links to golden carers articles
