Here are some ways I honor my resident's life stories.
I do this by coordinating and doing reminiscing activities often - such as 'Memories & Mimosas', 'Housewives Tales or Truths', 'Let's Bake' (and baking recipes provided by the residents), reading and remembering original 'Mother Goose' stories, asking specific questions about their parents and siblings and growing up, and other fun childhood-specific games like 'School Days' discussion questions and other similarly styled games.

Lauren Yntema: My residents absolutely adore these quizes. We have done all of these as well as 'words that start with -' and 'words that end with -'. Keep up the great work!
I am loving everything Golden Carers has to offer. The printable calendars are a huge hit and the activities make planning so easy. Thanks Golden Carers!!
