As a volunteer for many years in different Aged Care Facilities what worked best for me was to have a monthly meeting so as to have input into the program. Being able to brain storm and feeling a part of the team is vital. This is enough reward as I never expect gifts but a Thankyou goes a long way. Many talents shared make it easier for the Lifestyle team. Some of your volunteers may have more knowledge with Dementia. Thankyou for this wonderful site....
I absolutely love this website and get most of my daily activities from it. Love the monthly diary too. It has so much to offer for different stages of dementia residents. I love the artwork, games, and quizzes which we use every day. People are constantly asking where do I get my ideas. Thank you so much!
