CNS Diversional&Recreational Activities for the Elderly
Hi Lisa. In regards to cutting residents nails where i work as an activity nurse i cut finger nails only but so do other nursing staff. Chiropodist cuts toenails. When i cut residents nails i also paint them( female residents) so we turn into a beauty session which they love. During these sessions residents open up and will talk about their lives. All females love to be pampered. Good luck in your new post.
You're quite the special angel here to assist everyone. It takes a special kind of person to deal with seniors - they are not given the respect or credit they so deserve to have lasted this long on this earth. To have witnessed such history is amazing. So many are forgotten about and I try everyday to share RAOKs (Random Acts of Kindness) with any person I see that could use it - thank you again for the great ideas which I hope to spread around the area to help make others know how special they are.
