Hi Donna,an article on Palliative Care will feature in the September newsletter. Thank you for you feedback. Regarding the ratio for the number of supervisors in community outing; I don't know if there is a standard ratio. I thought that it was left to each Nursing Home and how they interpret 'Duty of Care'. I can tell you that in my last job (High Care Nursing Home) we use to take maximum 7 people, of which 5 were ambulant or walkers and two wheelchair. There were 2 staff and one volunteer always.
The activities on this site are truly amazing. It is great as well that you have the option to make your own activities and share these with others. This website has been tremendously helpful. Our residents especially love the bingo's and hangman. It has also allowed us to complete activities that we may not have thought about before. Thank you so much love this website!
