Golden Carers is my lifesaver. There is so much to choose from - I'm printing things every night. Golden Carers is brilliant.

Would like information on what's best to put in residents box's in case they become agitated. This box 's do have a special name.
HI, the best thing to do is have a box tailored to that resident's interests eg a mechanic might have old spark plugs and tools and car magazines or a seamstress have old zips and cottons, dress patterns etc.
Generic items could be "I spy" bags, squishy balls, time out meditation bottles ( check on Google for these easily made bottles), calming music etc.
Sensory Boxes see GC feb issue article on sensory boxes.
We call them Fiddle Boxes, and you can either make generic or personalise the boxes for a particular resident. Great for minimising behaviours and a great distraction.
