I often read a childrens nursery book to a client in a nursing home, thats mentally challenged and she cannot count properly at all but knows a lot of nursery rhythmes.
I'm still just a homecare person, hope to be a RAO one day, just need build up my confidence.. I would like to volunteer somewhere on my day off to assist a RAO one day a week to gain practical exp.
I have only done a c4 health and Leisure course finished end of last yr.. haven't actually worked as one yet I do homecare at moment.. but i would suggest maybe starting with the 5 senses, using main headings in care plans, review forms etc and brainstorming maybe even in a group or with a friend and see how many descriptive and appropriate words you can come up with.
How do we get involved in a post card exchange between facilities..? Can someone explain how it actually works, I'd like to suggest it where I am doing work placement..
I cannot believe it has been a full year since I started using Golden Carers. I remember going back and forth mentally if I wanted to try something new or keep on paying for an older resource that we didn't use often and was much more expensive for the entire year. I'm so glad I chose to make the switch and now here I am renewing my membership for the 2nd year. This site is great! Keep up the good work
