At the facility where I am at currently, there are birds ( 1 of which will come out on your shoulder) and a cat. I also have a 5 year old Jack Russel that I bring in as a volunteer on days off. At both previous facility and current she seems to make a big difference, bringing smiles and encouraging chat and reminiscence. Does anyone know of a course that I can do for myself to further enhance our visits?
I am trained as an enrolled nurse but also planning to complete a leisure and lifestyle course this year.
I have been in this field for close to 15 years. I came across your website initially because I was searching for a shared, personal forum with other professionals in my field that was not attached to random advertising and monthly fees. After discovering your website which hosted a forum that was exactly what I was looking for, as well as providing a mountain of resources that didn’t require you to follow several external links to get to, and to top it off no monthly recurring fee...Jackpot!
