Hello everyone! I am planning a summer camp week in July. Just wondering if any of you had any ideas. I would like to do each day a different camp from m to f.
Last year I had this problem on a unit I was covering over the summer time. And it really got to me as they were always asking what are the other residents were up to and what programs were happening on a daily bases. But they would never come to the group programs. All they wanted to do was chat which was ok as I got to know them better. Then I thought what about Special take out lunch. and I did it just for these residents. first one swiss chalet, then kfc, then pizza. I invited them personally, the room was set up formally and they got to know each other. After doing this I started to notice that they would be going to each others rooms and checking in on each other.
Just did a high tea party with a small group of residents. They enjoyed all the poems I read. One resident said some of the poems gave such meaning. Thank you so much from all of us.
I would like to say that this site is AMAZING!!!!! I work in a facility of 224 residents and I go to different units each day. You have helped me a lot.
I love Golden Carers it is a fabulous resource. It has made my life so much easier, so that in turn does wonders for my clients. The work that you put in to helping us all is wonderful please don’t give up.
Is it worth the money? You betcha it is. My clients love the quizzes and we have many laughs and it opens up many a thoughtful discussion on life as an older person. I thank you so much when l am stuck for ideas l just jump onto GOLDEN CARERS. Have a great day and keep up the great work.
