I'm currently working as a Activity DirectorADC at a 160 bed facility. We have assisted living/short term/long term and both female and dementia units.I need some fresh ideas for quick grab activites for aides to utilize for residents, that the residents dont need supervision with? Also my men don't want to do anything but eat,sleep and watch television!!! Desperate for ideas ????
I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!
