Thank you so much for allowing us to share all the wonderful ideas that are on Golden Carers. It is so helpful, inspiring and they give our residents so much fun and the feeling of achievement once we have completed them. It is great that we can spread the days out and do a lot over time rather than in one session. THANK YOU ALL

I'm fresh out of school and this is something I have yet to do!
I am still looking into video instructions but engaging the residents is something I can address
First this article on golden Carers is for men however you can use many of these ideas to engage all residents
You need to know your residents likes and dislikes
Also you need to know their abilities
You do not want to provide activities and no one life or that no one can do
You may have to adapt and modify the activities to meet the needs of your residents
I find I need to adapt most activities so that the residents enjoy them
Sometime to get residents who are hesitant to engage in an activity this article may help you with that problem
