Hi Marina... I always like to play music that a resident has liked throughout their life in their rooms when they reach the end stage. It creates a peaceful atmosphere for them & for family. If they have expressed no interest in music something quiet & peaceful played is always lovely. If a resident is religious, by all means pray with them, even if they are not responsive I beleive they can hear you. Essential oils used in a diffuser are wonderful as well as gentle massage using oils, it makes the room smell fresher & is very relaxing. Read stories to them or even just talk to them, about the wonderful achievements of their life. These are all things I have done & documented. Hope this helps a little...
Golden Carers has been a God send to me. The person before me left me winging it. So, I found Golden Carers in an internet search. I use the calendar, lots of the activity ideas, but the most appreciated is the different ideas from other members. Sometimes knowing what works in other facilities is so helpful.... I'm coming to the end of my first year, and can't wait to renew for another year.
