I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!

I have to do an in service at my company for next month. I want to make it fun and right to the point, about why activities are so important to our residents. Got any ideas?
HI Candace, talk to your residents and ask them why activities are so important to them and what they would like to see happen. I'm sure you will find many of them will assist you with your in service and it will make them feel as though their feedback is wanted and valued..
You can tell your audience that any encounter is an activity and
Most surveyors think that everyone is responsible for doing activities not group activities but socializing with the residents
I do not know where you live so I can not speak to yearly inspections or if you even have them
I wrote anI article about optimal activities which might be helpful I'm not sure when that's going to be published however
What type of resident are in your facility?
I have done many in services so let me think about it some more
Thanks
Susan
