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 have been in this field for close to 15 years. I came across your website initially because I was searching for a shared, personal forum with other professionals in my field that was not attached to random advertising and monthly fees. After discovering your website which hosted a forum that was exactly what I was looking for, as well as providing a mountain of resources that didn’t require you to follow several external links to get to, and to top it off no monthly recurring fee...Jackpot!
