Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone has issues concerning budget. I would love to do activities from golden carers, but most of them we can't do as our budget is so tight at my facility.
I would try fundraising or if you have a Facebook page for your facility, post on their ahead that you're looking for certain items and ask if anyone has any they are willing to donate. I have gone to local business and talked to them about donating certain items. Most are very willing to help in any way possible. After they donate I will make a Thank you post on Facebook and tag the business or person in it and what they donated. I also have all the residents sign a Thank you card.
I am beyond excited to have been introduced to Golden Carers. I am thrilled about what this will mean for my residents. I am a HCA and just accepted another position as an Assistant Manager in a Supportive Living facility. Thank you for this wonderful site and all the resources.
Have you tried fundraising are asking families and staff for donations??
I had good luck posting signs when I needed something such as ties, scarves, and alike
