Welcome to this wonderful field Lea! The links Talita offered have been a great help to me, and sure they will help you. Also, be present with each of your residents, and know that our jobs are more than just keeping someone entertained we work to ensure these individuals have the highest quality of life. Best of luck!

Golden Carers is a phenomenal and creative resource of activities for the senior population and people with dementia. They also provide resources and support for the caregiver too. I liked all the different types of activities that were available. You could pick and choose from a plethora of items the activities appropriate for your group. Keep on doing what you are doing. So many people's lives have been touched and improved by your website. Your website is a blessing to many organisations.
