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.
You're quite the special angel here to assist everyone. It takes a special kind of person to deal with seniors - they are not given the respect or credit they so deserve to have lasted this long on this earth. To have witnessed such history is amazing. So many are forgotten about and I try everyday to share RAOKs (Random Acts of Kindness) with any person I see that could use it - thank you again for the great ideas which I hope to spread around the area to help make others know how special they are.
