Hello busy bees, I have been given a task to organize an area activities co-ordinators meeting. I am stuck for ideas where to start and what to include- subjects etc. Any help please? Anyone else have regular get togethers with others doing the same role? Thank you before ahead
I had been part of a group Can probably email facilities in the area to see if you can generate some interest You could suggest having a penpal group or having some residents come to another facility if they are able and play a mutually decided upon game If you do not want to start with getting residents together you could talk about problems that you all have You may suggest that they all join golden carers or at the very least join the Facebook group of golden Carers https://www.goldencarers.com/activities-for-seniors-facebook-group/4782/ Could also modify this https://www.goldencarers.com/what-to-include-in-a-staff-meeting/5106/ This should give you enough information to start Just curious what is the purpose of you doing this to management ??
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
