Our resident love potting plants that already have a bit of colour. We have extended this activity into decorating pots or we have a choice of coloured pots to choose from. We repot small pots of coloured seedlings into bigger pots. Gloves are good because some residents worry about dirt on their hands. Most were keen gardeners so they tend to advise us on what to do. They also like to take their potted plants with them so watering of plants without mess was a bit of an issue. Good luck we all enjoy this activity

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.
