Hi all, I am starting up a movement to music falls prevent group but was wondering if anyone could suggest another name? I wanted some thing that would grab people's attention, but my mind has gone blank? Thanks Amy
Have you considered video games that keep the residents upright and engaged, this will keep with your aim of recovering mobility and preventing falls? Wii Fit? Arm chair exercises that include a mix of sitting down and standing up excersies? Ball games such as ten pin bowling for those with good ROM and gait?
You could contact your local dance school who maybe able to come an do the old time waltz or even rock and roll with your residents who aren't so keen on just on exercising, engaging dementia clients in favourite past times like dancing can be abit easier than having them exercise or take part in a walking group.
A few names I can think of for your class include
Upright an Dancing Let's Boogie Ten Pin Stars Fit at Fifty (depends on your aged group) Breakfast Club (if the excersies are first up in the morning) Power 20 (20 minutes of movement to music)
Hi Amy we are in the middle of that course, have you done a program, our residents are mostly in wheel chairs, any chance I could please look at your program ideas, Thank you Brenda
Hello, I have just renewed my membership after spending a year with Golden Carers. My residents in the home where I am Activities leader have totally enjoyed all the activities I have used from your website. I have used your newsletter templates, quizzes, word games, "This Day in History", painting pages, seasonal topics, and many more. Keep up the good work in helping us provide meaningful care for our precious residents that we are privileged to look after ✨️
