Hi Sarah I actually did not do a newsletter They really have a nice template on the site games and puzzles you put in our dependent on the residents in your facility you want to make things challenging but not too difficult A good idea is to ask the residents what they want in the newsletter because it is for them I used to hand out cards with puzzles in them but again it was geared to the ability of the residents Sometimes we would fill out the card as a group activity and sometimes I would do one to one with a card I did pick a winner from all the cards that were turned in That seem to motivate some residents to do it
I love Golden Carers it is a fabulous resource. It has made my life so much easier, so that in turn does wonders for my clients. The work that you put in to helping us all is wonderful please don’t give up.
Is it worth the money? You betcha it is. My clients love the quizzes and we have many laughs and it opens up many a thoughtful discussion on life as an older person. I thank you so much when l am stuck for ideas l just jump onto GOLDEN CARERS. Have a great day and keep up the great work.
Thanks
Sarah
