Any ideas for a Christmas countdown? Something a small group can put together, but can be enjoyed by all? 44 bed Skilled Nursing, many are at different levels of dementia. I do have a small group of higher functioning that can do simple projects, so I am thinking of something the higher level can put together, but can be enjoyed during the count down by everyone.
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.
