Join NowI just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)

I just renewed my membership and going into my second year. When I got the notification that my first year was expiring, I knew I had to renew, there was no doubt in my mind. GoldenCarers is PRICELESS! As a DJ and mobile entertainer for over 38 years much of my business is with assisted living facilities and GoldenCarers has taken it above and beyond my competition. It always has something useful and too many to point out. I could no imagine running my business without GoldenCarers. You guys ROCK!

I was wondering if there are any good resources about holding group meetings for clients that have early-stage dementia or other challenges with communication. I'd like to ask for feedback and discuss the schedule with each group every once in a while. In my experience the feedback in situations like these can be rather short and difficult to apply. How can I get better at asking what I want to know? Is this just something I'll have to learn as I go?
I do not know what things are like in Finland but in the US in order to have an activity center yeah have to follow certain rules and regulations
Do you have funding and a space to have this Center?
Are your clients drop in or do they stay all day at your facility similar to adult daycare?
How are you going to get clients??
Is this going to be a for profit organization are you going to be a nonprofit??
If you are a nonprofit you may be able to get grants
This is a lot to think about before opening a center
You may want to work someplace before you open your own center
Are you going to be hiring staff or have volunteers because thatâs a whole Other issue as well
As far as communication goes here are some ideas
