Sensory stimulation is always a good idea you can have a group of residents sitting at the table but address each person individually and you could have things for people to do if they if you are not working with them Such as coloring activities of daily living or work related activities such as folding towels or other things Here are some ideas and goals and Carers https://www.goldencarers.com/sensory-stimulation-for-dementia-care/4184/
I find the fundraising the biggest challenge. I think there should always be a budget. Activities co ordinator jobs are hard without the fundraising side.does anyone agree
I love Golden Carers it is a fabulous resource. It has made my life so much easier, so that in turn does wonders for my clients. The work that you put in to helping us all is wonderful please don’t give up.
Is it worth the money? You betcha it is. My clients love the quizzes and we have many laughs and it opens up many a thoughtful discussion on life as an older person. I thank you so much when l am stuck for ideas l just jump onto GOLDEN CARERS. Have a great day and keep up the great work.
