What an amazing site with so many activities to stimulate our elderly people and to make them enjoy the togetherness of everything you offer as activities. I am from South Africa, Johannesburg and being part of such a huge "population" of carers having the same Purpose in mind, is a huge priviledge to me! I am the Nursing Manager of a Retirement home and keep on encouraging my residents to participate in this journey made possible by you. Thank you, you are such an inspiration!

Looking for recomendations on where to purchase a silicon life like baby doll for some of our residents.
A nurse brought her doll in to show the residents and the reaction from a couple of ladies was amazing, the baby doll was weighted to a realistic weight for a baby.
I have done doll therapy (Child representaion therapy) before at a previous employment and it was successful but they looked like dolls so this time I really would like a doll that looks real.
Thanks
Donna

I do not know of a course that certifies you in child representative therapy but this article could help you
