I just signed up for Golden Carers - I am playing around with the website. I used Activity Connection, but I am very bored with it. I work at a Skilled Nursing Home with 36 residents and a Rest Home with 54 Residents and I have a hand for of Independent Living. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Pam Thank you for Joining this group of activity professionals and others interested in caring for those needing assistance Your question is broad so if you could narrow it down that would be great Do you want to find activities for groups or for one to one visits? Do you need help designing a Calendar? What sort of activities do you do now? Good do you want Activities for a mixed group or for groups for each level of residents There are many quizzes and trivia and other types of Documents you could make as handouts for those who do not want to attend groups Let me know some specifics, and I could be of more help to you Again, thanks for being part of this group of highly intelligent, creative individuals
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
