Thank you very much to Golden Carers for creating such an informative website. You have assisted me and my colleagues in developing a fun and engaging activities programme that is meaningful and interesting for our residents. You are also our plan B in the event that plan A does not go as planned. We strongly advise all activity workers to join you.

I’m struggling significantly to get staff to get my Alzheimer’s residents up. Most are in later stages of dementia. Most of the residents are in bed all day and eat every meal in bed.
I have shared my concerns all the way up the chain of supervisors.
I’m at loss.
Looking for any suggestions!
Thank you.
The article I suggested before should help you Danielle

First I looked at their social history to see what time they generally used to get up. Then I started a rise and shine club. Around the time they used to get up I had the RCA's go in and say good morning, "It is going to be a beautiful day." Then I would have them open the shade a little so some light and the resident could see it is day time. The RCA would leave and come back 5- 10 minutes later and talk to the resident and motivate them to get up. Today for breakfast we are having, it smells so good. Things like that.
I hope it helps.
