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

Hi
we have resident welcome gifts on admission. Do others have them? ours are tired and I need some new ideas. Hoping you can help..............
Hi Fiona, thank you for you input. Giving gifts on admission depends on the facility's management. I think it is a great idea. However I have not experienced it, the places I worked for had usually a 'get-together' to introduce the new resident to a few people. Nice china cups, petit fours, a choice of teas, and cakes. Of course had we added a small gift it would have been even better.
Thanks Solange. loving this site and getting lots of great ideas
Hi Fiona,
I arrange a ;'Welcome pack' for all new residents: a plastic small basket with shampoo,conditioner, a nice plastic cup, hand cream, a bar of soap, a nail set and a welcome card (made by a resident) -all wrapped. In the same time , fresh flowers in a vase in the room before arrival.
Best wishes.
