Pet Therapy, We are based in Perth,SOR. Unfortunately our Pet Handler and her dog has retired. We are wondering who else we can contact? It doesn't have to be a dog.
We also get our residents to communicate what love means to them, write it down, paint etc, craft an old card into a love heart and place on a board and afterwards we put it on their door..also can laminate if time permits
We are also in Perth and would be interested in conversing conversation. Even via email for those that don't have fine motor skills but are cognitive. We have a lot of Dutch residents, some English.
does anyone have any other specific links you like to use on You tube? We run a wellness group- once we've applied massage and heatpacks we like to let the residents choose what they would like to watch on the smart tv. Whether it is a travel documentary or musician.
Sensory ceiling stimulation... I'm looking for ideas for the something to either hang or stick to the ceiling. I did think of a mobile, with objects of residents interests hanging but visually this might even too busy. Otherwise I thought of just placing laminated bright coloured paper in shapes of triangle/ heart etc and stick to the ceiling . Any suggestions?
I am starting my 2nd day as a Life Enrichment Coordinator and am loving it. I subscribed to your site to learn more about the assisted living world. I am loving the hands-on ideas and thoughtful articles. Thank you!!
