Hi Sandra

Unfortunately this happens

I always had an alternates

List

I had them fill out the forms and anything else you needed just in case they would go

There are usually a few residents who like to go so those would be your go to people

You could also say if someone backs out three times then it will be a while before you invite them

Make sure you talk to the trip up and have family members involved if you can

Once again, Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity, and I often choose a very shy resident to take part - it’s amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quizzes help keep minds active and give residents such a strong sense of self-worth when they get a correct answer.
