Hello Golden Cares Friends. I am racking my brain to come with a vast variety of activities to put on my community calendar that won’t cross contamination each other. I have a few things that can be regularly disaffected like PVC pipe, dominoes, plastic dice. Let’s see how many ideas we can share!

Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village.

The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
