It is absolutely wonderful to see and use the combined efforts of so many people caring for the elderly from all over the world. This website has opened many doors to stimulating and enriching the lives of older people. Thank you to Golden Carers for making all of this possible - we salute you!

Hi Fidelma I feel you pain...I coordinate 4 sites in total 500 residents and 13 rao staff. What works for me is visiting each site 1x per week and one day back a head office doing the management side of things (developing policies, procedures, reaserch etc) I need to be very stricked with my time and I have to delegate to rao staff what they have to do at site level. Cooordinators should be there as support person, educator, guide a resources not a doer. Be carefull not to get stuck doing too much and everyones work.
Best of luck
Elsa
