Hi I am a well-being coordinator in a care home in Perth in Scotland . I love my job and I love this site it has so many great ideas . I am struggling right now trying to engage care staff with well-being as they are very task orientated. Any ideas on how to boost the staff and get them interested?
Hi Kate like yourself I work in homes in Scotland and I know how hard it is to get staff to engage,why not try and give the staff a project to be involved in along with the residents, we at the moment are doing a virtual cruise in our gardens our staff and residents chose their country and are planting flowers and designing the garden to go with the country, it's a competition which the staff are really getting into and have came up with some great ideas there now starting to think about xmas,good luck.

With the resources I've received from you, which I now can't do without, you've become one of my vital lifelines. This site gives me courage and enthusiasm because I know it will always back me up, no matter what. Thank you, and I hope you never stop generating new ideas that we can share, making life more meaningful for the vulnerable in our community.
