Hi I have been asked if there is anything I need for activities as my workplace has a surplus and this is very rare that they ask me what I need for diversional therapy there any thing your facility has brought or would like to buy that will be beneficial to the residents, I have said ipads ..... your opinions and ideas would be greatly appreciated......
Hi Pauline, you are so lucky to have a surplus budget, it is not very common, believe me! Yes, Ipad games are becoming very popular. You may spend some of your budget on aquatic equipment; if a pool is not available you may take clients to the local pool e.g. life saving jackets, and a wheelchair that can be submerged. Also any outdoors sport fitness equipment (specifically for seniors) such as chest-press, leg-press, sitting rotator, standing bike, and others. Best wishes.
Thank you for all the wonderful ideas. Never disappointed when looking for inspiration when logging on to Golden Carers. We are so fortunate to have access to so many different ideas to use on a daily basis. Cannot thank you all enough for the wonderful work you do putting all those resources at our fingertips.
