I have only just started working as a Therapy Assistant, having studied for 6 months at TAFE, so very new to me. Loving it. I do have one question which I would love to get feedback on. Who's responsibility is it to cut residents nails? It seems to be a very grey area where I work - I understand that massage would be therapy but don't understand why it would be our job to cut nails and would love to know if this is standard in this industry.
I appreciate the time and effort you put into finding and creating activities for seniors. I especially appreciate the freebies as I am a volunteer which implies I do not receive a paycheck so I really count on the free items your site offers and put them to good use at the PC and Dementia facility I volunteer at.
