We played the Valentines Day Bingo for Valentines Day, it really made the residents think and concentrate, it was definitely something different,

I love love love Golden carers. Do you have Chair Activity Bingo?

Thank u for this information about Dementia. I will share this in our workplace. We can all learn from it

Love this idea, can't wait to make them with the residents

I love this idea, will definitely try it shortly. Would be great for Mothers Day in May

Would love the answer to this riddle please. Thanks

How can residents help? We have a resident who is always talking about the movie The Gods must be crazy

I work in an aged care centre with 6 residents. Lack of motivation is a problem. I find the thing that works best is person centred activites, eg one resident loves playing Rummy King, but hates craft etc. Just talking to them all the time finding out what their life has been like and what their interests have been. Getting them to do gentle exercises,even in bed seems to help a bit, gets the blood flowing!!! I will read articles that appeal to them when they are in bed, just lying there looking at the ceiling. It can be very challenging, I'm always after new ideas and suggestions. Good luck Elizabeth
