Jenny I totally understand the same thing happened to myself about 6 mths ago - though l was lucky enough to find this fantastic job - 1 off my formere co workers was forces out after l left. The residents were devisated and we were not allowed by Management to return for 3 months - we have since been back - they have little if any activities and are so happy to see us - go back see you FRIENDS they need you - visit them and support them we know it hurts but do it for them. Management have so soul sometimes - it's about people and how we can support THEM - all the best
I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)
