Alternative to Valentine's Day? I found most residents I work with are not keen on Valentine's Day, especially as many have lost their spouse, so could you please included some alternative activity resources, such something based upom "C" Day when Australia change over to decimal currency in 1966? Thanks.
We also use a Wii weekly in our low-care wing. A few residents play and enjoy 10 pin bowling, and a few like to watch. Maybe try a video hire shop or game retailer locally about hiring one for a few weeks before deciding?
It's really wonderful to see our clients so engaged with the puzzles and word searches, the Trivia is really popular and our participants get a buzz out of getting the answers correct. Golden Carers is our "Go To" resource on a weekly basis and it is rewarding for our working day to add it to our activity programs.
