Good morning everyone... I am a total newbie, I did a couple yrs as a care assistant back in 2005, but got a job as activities coordinator in a dementia/nursing home back end of June. I am based in the deme the dementia side of the home...most of our residents are in the late stages of dementia. Pre Covid I was a line dance instructor/choreographer and radio dj. I am looking forward to browsing the site and hopefully getting loads tips and advice and help to succeed and be an amazing activities coordinator. Since June we have been concentrating on the family outdoor visits. But from mon I am back k on activities as we are now allowed to let a select few vaulenteers in to supervise the visits.... i can't wait to get stuck into activities

I co-own and operate a small assisted living home in Pittsfield, NH (U.S.A.). We consistently seek ways to improve upon our senior activity program, providing a diversified balance of a purposeful and enjoyable time of recreation, crafting, exercise and others to reach all of our residents. I must say, it's been a challenge. This past October I began researching options online and came across your site, subscribing for a year to see what you were all about. Let me tell you, you have not disappointed! Your site is a priceless resource that we are extremely thankful for. We find a significant increase in resident participation and look forward to the new ideas that each month brings. Our residents love the changes!
