Hi Everyone, I am looking for an Activity on a Sunday afternoon 1pm - 2.15pm in our (High Care section) I know I shouldn't segregate, as it is now known as "Ageing in Place". We have Sing-along after morning tea and its great, however I am stuck for an idea to keep my beautiful residents uplifted. Thanks again Bron in Australia.
How about some kind of a spiritual event like a spiritual circle? Keep it nondenominational singing familiar hymns. Perhaps you can find a group or family member who would like to lead this Another idea is to read and discuss uplifting stories like Chicken Soup for the Soul stories Be sure to make it interactive Another idea is simple trivia or a simple game Golden Carers has many suggestions
I just wanted to say thank you for all you do to help me and others in my field! The support of your resource has been even more important during COVID and I am so, so thankful. Also thank you for creating a Spanish version of This Day in History!!! I recommend you to my colleagues any chance I get.
