Once again, Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity, and I often choose a very shy resident to take part - it’s amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quizzes help keep minds active and give residents such a strong sense of self-worth when they get a correct answer.
