Hi folks, Can anyone one offer some advise please as I feel that I am not managing to do much in the way of group activities. I do plenty of one - one but this limits the amount of residents I can engage with in my day. I find I struggle with activities because so many of my residents are at different levels of dementia.as well as the mental health side varying ages and types of phsicosi.
I am loving the Golden Carers membership. I am finding great resources that I used on the first day of membership. The membership is of much value working as both an Activities Director, and also an Activities Consultant. I look forward to continuing to use the site and also the forum.

This is a common occurrence
Music activities are usually good
Most of these are good but you need to decide by the residents interests
