Posted by Suzy/15th July 2013 i also have done the Spark of Life program.found it to be a very interesting concept too...but I do agree with Dorothy unless all staff are on board with the program it is very hard to implement the day therapy centre where I am.
I love the idea of the wreaths.............am experiencing some opposition to do this activities as there are some comments that it would be somewhat disturbing/bring about sad memories.............i personally don't agree............has any one had a bad experience with there dementia clients??? totally enjoy the Golden Carers site suzy
I did your DIY bingo game using the names of residents who play bingo and all the names of the staff; both first and last names. My residents love it! They are learning everyones names and enjoy it so much when their name is called! I love Golden Carers.
