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
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. I finally found ‘Golden Carers’! I’ve passed along ’the find’ to the Activity Director of where I work. Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is much more than a great resource for activities - it’s an education on how to provide ‘life’ to both workers and our elders.
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
