Hi, Has anyone done a "Resident based walkathon" - tallying up residents steps that they do and plotting it on a map around Australia?

Hi Allison, Yes, just recently we "walked" to our Cairns facility from our Brisbane facility. Our physio dpt worked out how many steps and each week we had a destination, eg, Bunderburg, Rockhampton. We did an armchair travel each week and had some reminiscing about the places residents have holidayed in the past. I found the library to be a gr8 recourse for dvd's. Hope this has been of some help. Janelle.
I'm so happy I found this site. It's been very helpful to me for my job and for the residents I care for. Many thanks to GoldenCarers you're doing an excellent job!
