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 https://www.goldencarers.com/how-to-run-successful-resident-council-meetings/4215/
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!!
