I love Golden Carers! When I first became an Activity Aide, I spent hours scouring the internet looking for meaningful activities for elders experiencing cognitive decline. Then I finally found Golden Carers! I’ve since passed along “the find” to the Activity Director where I work.
Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is so much more than a great activity resource. It’s an education in how to bring “life” to both workers and the elders we support.

Hello there!
I have a resident that was just admit which is deaf and communicate thru sign language, there is no one in my building that can sign, and the resident don't write. Is there any suggestions, or flash cards, no family.
Hi Edith have you tried these cue cards

As suggested you could make your own
You could even have this resident help you once she is settled in
Maybe she can teach you sign language??
You could also use these bingo cards but not for playing bingo for talking about certain animals or whatever
