Hello.Im from Macedonia, im a Social worker and i have a question about those who work in nursing homes. Of course until now the weather conditions allowed us to visit outdoors and through the balcony, but as time goes by it would be more difficult. Do you have any idea what the protocols for visiting the elderly indoors. Thank you
Hi Milena I would ask the facility you are going to watch their procedure is Perhaps you can go in their room and open the window Most residents have a coat for the cold weather If you have a time constraint perhaps the staff can get the resident ready for you
However, I think in a pandemic it is best for the family visit to be in the salon at a distance and with a screen between the user and the family, of course wearing a protective mask and using a disinfectant.
I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs. After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).
Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!
Congratulations and thanks to the Golden Carers Team for a professional and well designed website that is internationally useful and user friendly!
Thank you
