Golden Carers has been a godsend to me. The person before me left me having to wing it, so I found Golden Carers through an internet search. I use the calendar and many of the activity ideas, but what I appreciate most are the shared ideas from other members. Knowing what works in other facilities is so helpful. I'm coming to the end of my first year, and can't wait to renew for another year.

Hello! I just got a couple tablets for my residents to use and I am looking for a policy for electronics. Does anyone have anything similar that they would send me? I am also in need of a disinfecting policy.. anything would help. Thank You!
Hi Amanda
Read this comment because Juanita had the same questions

Hi Amanda, I would say that all shared electronics like virtual tennis/golf games should be sterilized after each resident uses it including side tables, chair armrest, etc. I would also have a fresh chair cover seat for each person. A combination of cleaning and disinfection is recommended because the cleaning takes off any debris/soil which allows for better sterilization. Keep safe.
HI Amanda, We are in lock down and all residents are in their rooms only.
I have 6 new ipads here for my residents and they are used in our covid unit so that they can stay in touch with their loved ones.
I use it for daily religious /spiritual services, or as we have residents from different countries TV in their native language, music the same. I use it for memory care for showing funny videos of animals: puppies and kittens works great!
I also use it for zoom or face time with their families. The ipads are cleaned between each use and are maintained by myself
About 6/7 residents per ipad
It is awesome I received a grant from the state to purchase the ipads and they are such an enrichment for my residents!
