In our facility our residents are usually in their rooms regardless of the pandemic. I do room to room everything: Beachball basketball- small beachball and dollar store laundry basket Flamingo ring toss Morning stretches Give everyone a magazine and have them find certain items for a collage: ex: food items then take every one's picks and put it together. When I have completed it I bring it around to show them what they did. There's a bunch of crafts to do on Pinterest- in room There are also short funny stories and jokes Yesterday we decorated sand dollars with markers and made necklaces out of them Tomorrow we are making beaded bracelets. Also coloring with pencils and coloring pages off Pinterest is a good go to when I need something fast.
What a blessing to have found the Golden Carers website, our residents love the activities, particularly fond of visual and musical quizzes. Oh, what fun!! Thanks to all to those at Golden Carers and everyone who contributes to making this website an invaluable tool in ones' toolkit.

It sounds like you’re doing a great job
I am just curious why residents stay
in their rooms all the time
