I am currently working in an assisted living center and most of our residents are very independent. For those who are not I would like some kind of print out that will help remind them of what is going on with the COVID-19 situation without scaring them. Some are forgetting why we aren't having lunch in the dining room or having activities as usual. Social distancing is not easy when some residents do not understand or remember. I am the marketer here and I'm helping in other areas at this time. If anyone has something they use for their residents it would be appreciated.
A simple note hanging in an area of the room that is seen by the resident You could have them decorated and then hang it up in the room together You could make a card for them to carry around You don’t have to mention a covid 19 virus by name but you could just say that the dining room and other areas are closed at the present time Thanks for your understanding What do you think about this Ashley??
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. I finally found ‘Golden Carers’! I’ve passed along ’the find’ to the Activity Director of where I work. Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is much more than a great resource for activities - it’s an education on how to provide ‘life’ to both workers and our elders.
