I like this idea of various tools, and could add to this with items from our home toolbox to add to the program.
In past years, I created a program of "hammers" . Where they originated from, and several types. I placed them on my activity cart, and displayed to each of the Residents. Everything from Fire hammers (break into buildings on fire) ; Railroad hammers; to small Tin - Bashing hammers. It sparked a great amount of discussion and reminisce about former jobs. And my manager was impressed with ingenuity and creativity.
Help! I’m struggling to find the instructions and print out for a matching game, it was fruit, veg, and pics of a doctor, overalls, briefcase and similar. Tried using search but not finding it and can’t remember what it was under. Any help much appreciated, thanks Amanda
Golden Carers is a phenomenal and creative resource of activities for the senior population and people with dementia. They also provide resources and support for the caregiver too. I liked all the different types of activities that were available. You could pick and choose from a plethora of items the activities appropriate for your group. Keep on doing what you are doing. So many people's lives have been touched and improved by your website. Your website is a blessing to many organisations.
