Hello, dear Golden carers! My name is Sara and I am a new member from Slovenia, Europe! I am an OT, Montessori Inspired Lifestyle trainer. I am working in an elderly care facility Dom Sv. Jožef (Saint Joseph Home). We are a catholic residential home. We have 120 residents. Besides being an OT, I am supposed to take care of activities that are meaningful for residents, doing Montessori way. Mainly I create them alone, but sometimes I need ideas. This is the reason I signed up here. You rock!
Wow Sara Welcome to Golden Carers It sounds like you have quite a job Just being an OT or an Activity director are full-time jobs You were smart to join this group because there are many many ideas here including those with the Montessori approach https://www.goldencarers.com/search/#stq=Montessori&stp=1 Feel free to ask any questions or share ideas that you might have that work really well for you Thanks again
I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
