Hi Out There, I hope I am describing this easily. I am wishing to capture, in a snapshot, a quick reference to the background of the resident, it may have information such as likes, dislikes, what they did for a job, family, etc. that I can place in their room for care staff to read, it would be like a one page poster. It would be a quick reference for others to realise that the person living with dementia has had a life prior to entering aged care facility. Does anyone out there have done something similar? I have put this idea to the staff during a meeting and they are very keen on it and wishing to know more about the people they assist. Wanting to get this happening fairly quickly.
I cannot believe it has been a full year since I started using Golden Carers. I remember going back and forth mentally if I wanted to try something new or keep on paying for an older resource that we didn't use often and was much more expensive for the entire year. I'm so glad I chose to make the switch and now here I am renewing my membership for the 2nd year. This site is great! Keep up the good work
