Is there a way to ask for movie suggestions? Our assisted living tenants prefer the movies we show have no sex, drugs, alcohol, swearing, violence....prefer funny if possible. I am kind of tapped out of ideas! Thank you!
Thank you for the suggestions in the list! Like Kelly, I have the same challenge. I am new to this world of recreation (have worked 3 months) and have put on 2 movie nights. There are many great movies out there. However, I don't typically watch many personally which adds to the challenge for me - but we are also limited in time to 90 minutes which REALLY cuts down on the good choices that are also wholesome! I have been able to find some movies available on YouTube or archive.org as well (archive.org has a lot of classic tv shows too!), also Tubi or Pluto (but they seem to have commercials).
Thank you for the resources provided on Golden Carers. I found them immensely valuable, relevant and worthwhile. Educational and updated information provided. Great activity ideas and suggestions. The activities presented are appropriate and can be adapted to different client groups in any English speaking country. It is easy to read and understand the instructions and explanations.
