dear robyn I will take this comment on board as it is like that you always think you could have done a little bit more.I suppose I am hard on myself just want the residents to have fun through there transition of getting older and coping away from home....And try to make it as homely as possible. They are my life I carnt even turn off when at home and when I shop I am always looking for things for them eg presents crafts and different places to visit..Thanks again for the comments..NZ get only half of what the dts get in Australia. But I work for the resis.....It would be nice for a pay rise. ahe....
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.
