Hi There, we celebrate a theme cultural day every Friday for happy hour. This event for us has been so successful the resident can not wait for Fridays. We decorate the room to what ever theme it is and dress a couple of the residents and staff as well. Very fun and enjoyable.
Hi Josephine, Some great ideas there that I will put in place. We have tried the cooking but they seem to only like to watch but I will try again with a different approach. Thanks again for your input as I will be trying anything. Thank you :-)
Hi Solange, Yes Bocce is one of the activities we do and we play indoors and outdoors. They seem to enjoy sitting in the lounge area and prefer a one on one session. I have Italian volunteers whom visit as well. Thank you though Solange I really appreciate your response.
Liz I work in a 70% Italian facility and am finding it hard to find activities that they really enjoy as they like to sit like the old days in their own little groups and either watch T.V , chat or sleep. The two things that work at this moment are Tomboula and shopping. Would anyone have any other great ideas that they think they would enjoy? Thank you
Golden Carers has been such a help to increase the range of activity sessions that we provide. Our residents love so many of the activities that are on here. It is also lovely that we can share our own idea's to help others. I am so glad that we signed up to Golden Carers - I am always recommending it to other activity coordinators locally.
