I find the chair exercises are ideal for residents who have a larger range of motion. My concern was for our other less mobile residents just sitting there not being able to participate. I came up with a Move your Body class which is done in a circle and begins with a balloon tennis warm up, bean bag toss before moving into more mainstream exercises. This way, most of the residents in the group can participate.
I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs. After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).
Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!
Congratulations and thanks to the Golden Carers Team for a professional and well designed website that is internationally useful and user friendly!
