There is no wrong or right way to do this, we have an large cabinet in our "general area" it has a shelf with battery operated candles and some lovely plants and we place a large framed picture with birth date and RIP date, for all to see
My residents just love music and sing a long, but these songs are way too recent none of the residents would know these. Songs they enjoy are My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean, My Darling Clementine, Only You (Platters), Que Sera Sera, You Are My Sunshine, Bye Bye Blackbird, Waltzing Matilda etc etc
This is my 1st year with GoldenCarers and I bless the day I found your site. It has helped me beyond belief to bring great activities to my residents and great advice when needed. So I would like to pass on my thanks and wish you all a VERY MERY XMAS AND A GREAT 2015 XX
Thank you for all the wonderful ideas. Never disappointed when looking for inspiration when logging on to Golden Carers. We are so fortunate to have access to so many different ideas to use on a daily basis. Cannot thank you all enough for the wonderful work you do putting all those resources at our fingertips.
