I love Golden Carers! When I first became an Activity Aide, I spent hours scouring the internet looking for meaningful activities for elders experiencing cognitive decline. Then I finally found Golden Carers! I’ve since passed along “the find” to the Activity Director where I work.
Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is so much more than a great activity resource. It’s an education in how to bring “life” to both workers and the elders we support.

I am an OTA student and for my class I have to create a treatment bag with 20 things to treat adults and kids at home. I will like to get some must have treatment ideas that I should put in my bag.
Hi
Here are some must have s
A deck of playing cards
Paper that can be folded or can be made into cards
Pens or pencils and magic markers
Stickers either bought or made by yoo
A song book with patriotic songs because both Jan and Alz like to sing and are familiar with patriotic songs
Hand lotion for giving hand massages
