Hi everyone, I am a Diversional Therapist working at a aging in place residential facility in Cheltenham Victoria Australia. I'm trying to start up a pen pal club with a few of my residents, possibly sending pictures, news events, what we do and have at our facility etc. If anyone is interested maybe we could start of slowly eg. one resident each and see how it goes. My email address is [email protected] or speak to me through this link. Thanking you Sharon:-)
Hi all, I have a few residents who get confused a bit when looking for their seating place in the dining room, I was going to put their names on a place mat but I'm worried this might be a bit childish. Any suggestions would be welcomed. If I do placemat names would it be best if I did all the residents? Thanking you all Sharon
Hi everyone, My manager has asked me to plan a week of activities for aged care week involving staff and residents in mid august but my brain just can't function. Any ideas would be great. Thanking you all. Sharon
I love Golden Carers! When I first became an ‘Activity Aide’ I spent hours scouring the internet looking for meaningful activities for elders experiencing cognitive decline. I finally found ‘Golden Carers’! I’ve passed along ’the find’ to the Activity Director of where I work. Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is much more than a great resource for activities - it’s an education on how to provide ‘life’ to both workers and our elders.
