Hi to all, I have just joined here today.. I work as a activities coordinator with three colleagues in a care home with 80 residents. We try our best but can't get. To. Everybody all the time, who could suggest some good carer led activities?? Thanks
Hi Andy The trick with Carers is you have to get them to actually do the activities I think motivation is key You want to keep things simple like dice games or card games
You're quite the special angel here to assist everyone. It takes a special kind of person to deal with seniors - they are not given the respect or credit they so deserve to have lasted this long on this earth. To have witnessed such history is amazing. So many are forgotten about and I try everyday to share RAOKs (Random Acts of Kindness) with any person I see that could use it - thank you again for the great ideas which I hope to spread around the area to help make others know how special they are.
