I am looking forward to the responses you receive Leanne. As a new coordinator we have very little cultural events and while we don't have the biggest range of nationalities, I still want to make sure everyone is accommodated.

To Leane who works in multicultural facility. I found that Indian cooking, snacks such as pakoras, or samosas were a big hit with the residents, including the Aussie residents. Ask a family member to help with the program and you will find the residents will truly enjoy it. Happy to let you know how I went.

I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
