We have the large deck of playing cards and deal 6 cards per resident.
We place them in 2 lines of 3 cards we do one LINE (3 cards across)then we go for the HOUSE (ALL 6 CARDS) per game. The caller has their own deck of cards that they call from. We use this as part of our FUN FRIDAY.

One question I was asked was what was the goal of or sign that you have succeeded in your role with a resident. My answer...a smile on the residents face.
I got the job :-)

Fantastic article. I am printing it off to add to our volunteers information.

I would like to participate with my residents. We are hospital level of care in Christchurch ,New Zealand. Of particular interest would be penpals from Ireland and the UK due to a lot of our residents ancestors coming from there.

I took my men to the local pub for 1 drink and a bar meal they really enjoyed that. I had one to one ratio and used men volunteers .
