Hi Michelle Motivation is the key word .. Some of my community clients state that they don’t do their home exercises but look forward to my visits. And engage well.. Also in aged care facilities I visit my residents and remind them that the program starts in 15 minutes .. this can be time consuming , but I always get a great turn out if I remind them.. My delema is that most enjoy the music I play but the odd one or two complain.
I am a physio assistant in aged care and also community. I am looking for music to use in my group sessions also to take with me when I do community clients . My focus is on balance, strength, pain management, but I also want them to have fun .. can you recommend music that I can down load and take with me .
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
