Hmnn....this article sure speaks to me......thanks. I thought I was losing the plot. Love my job, love my residents but just going home yesterday I felt exhausted, frustrated, worn out, like I never wanted to go back to the residents I adore. NIce to know its normal and there is something that can be done about it......Time for me without feeling guilty.
How exciting! An old fashioned game but not one I had thought of!!! Had fun thinking of some extra words. Going to try it today!!! Thanks for rekindling my memories GC!
Love the theme crosswords and puzzles. My residents love it when I attach it tot he newsletter for each month. Give them something to work on till the following month when they get the answers :)
I appreciate the time and effort you put into finding and creating activities for seniors. I especially appreciate the freebies as I am a volunteer which implies I do not receive a paycheck so I really count on the free items your site offers and put them to good use at the PC and Dementia facility I volunteer at.
