Hello everyone, I am looking for some new and exciting ideas to try to support residents culturally in our weekly cultural café. We drink different kinds of coffee and have conversation but I think it needs a bit more than that. Would love to see what other people have tried and what was successful and what was not. Thanks :)
That is a great idea to get client talking about their favourite foods. You would need someone to help you to reserch apetisers and treats from the coutries your clients come from. For instance Greeks would love to eat Honey Puffs and Semolina Pudding. Polish clients would be very proud of serving 'Ogorki' (baby cucumber pickles) or curd cheese with fruit compote. Italians have Canoli, Panetone or Tiramisu. All delicious regional food specific to their countries to get the conversatin going. Good luck!
Thank you very much to Golden Carers for creating such an informative website. You have assisted me and my colleagues in developing a fun and engaging activities programme that is meaningful and interesting for our Bristol Care Homes residents. You are also our plan B in the event that plan A does not go as planned. We strongly advise all activity workers to join you.
