Hi Everyone, Last time I chatted was late December 2019, regarding my poetry sessions and asking for ideas on how to position the residents in the group. Thank you for the great suggestions......all is going well.

I just wanted to mention, craft activity (configurating a tree).....which I facilitated with another TA one afternoon at our RACF. The residents had a great time painting and colouring the different shaped leaves. I constructed the trunk, branches and leaves on our therapy door cupboard and wrote the names of the residents on the leaves. It really brightened up the room and from time to time I see the residents admiring it, plus I've had very good feedback from other staff members as well. One of our residents suggested to include some birds.

Thank you to "golden carers" for initiating the idea......I love seeing the beautiful smiles on the residents' faces.

“ 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. “
