I love Golden Carers! When I first became an ‘Activity Aide’ I spent hours scouring the internet looking for meaningful activities for elders experiencing cognitive decline. I finally found ‘Golden Carers’! I’ve passed along ’the find’ to the Activity Director of where I work. Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is much more than a great resource for activities - it’s an education on how to provide ‘life’ to both workers and our elders.
am looking for a good idea for summer party for older adult in hospital ward setting .

If you need ideas on decorations your residents can make let me know
Handing out invitations is a good idea whether you make your own or buy some and just fill in the blanks
Hopefully you will get the kitchen to make some treats to eat but you may have to buy them yourself
Music is also a good idea
You can use summer music CDs or have a playlist on your device and use that
You may also want to have a sing-along with summer songs
I like to mix singing With trivia
