Can I ask a question : This month we have St Patricks and Easter, normally I would decorate the activity room with the theme of the month, if there are two themes should I decorate the activity room with both?? Or would you suggest I decorate with one theme (the first to arrive) then take it down to decorate for the second theme (second to arrive)?? I am new at this. Any help would be very helpful. Thanks.
Hi, I just wanted to make a suggestion for anyone else who may have residents with Schizophrenia. I have some residents with this disorder and I find they can be very recluse. What I noticed really helps with them is Mandala Art, they sit for long periods of time colouring these in and I find this really calms them and gives them a constructive activity. Just an FYI.
You should definitely look into volunteering and studying the Cert in Diversional Therapy. It is great the experience you have but to be employable you need to show recent work with aged care. Hope this helps.
