I work in a hospital and have a big team of volunteers. I have been asked to pause all volunteers until maybe June. Gulp!
Basically I will be solo covering 3 wards (84 patients). What can I do that is time efficient AND effective and will reach the most patients. Baring in mind most will be in their hospital bed.
Hi Katie Can you use the public address system or would that be too disruptive?? If you can you can do activities through the public address system If not you could make packets of activities for the residents to do You could have your volunteers call the residents from their home You could call the residents You could send the residents cards with activities on them for them to do You could make sure family members call their loved ones You could distribute decks of cards because you can probably find them fairly inexpensively if you want you then could give them a paper of all the different card games they could play I hope this helps
I just renewed my membership and going into my second year. When I got the notification that my first year was expiring, I knew I had to renew, there was no doubt in my mind. GoldenCarers is PRICELESS! As a DJ and mobile entertainer for over 38 years much of my business is with assisted living facilities and GoldenCarers has taken it above and beyond my competition. It always has something useful and too many to point out. I could no imagine running my business without GoldenCarers. You guys ROCK!
