This site has meant the world to me. It is so broad and covers a lot of aspects of Elderly living. I am so confident about presenting my activities to my Residents, as we find it stimulating, both physical and cognitively

Hi Nikki
Congratulations on your new role
It is a good idea to do wand ones to get to know the residents
Golden Carers has many great activity ideas
If you could be a little more specific about the likes and dislikes and the abilities of the residents I could be of more help
In general you want to have a resident council meeting and listen to what the residents have to say

Hi Nikki
Congratulations on your new role. Whilst I don't work as a Lifestyle Coordinator, I have worked with aged care clients for many years. I have personally never found a better website than Golden Carers - so you absolutely have your choice of activities here! Getting ideas for activities from residents, organise a calendar of events and above all have as much fun as the residents do!!
Ah thanks so much really appreciate this x
