We did one aboard a Yacht, (We wanted to escape winter) I asked each resident, "What will you bring?" They came up with some simple things such as suitcase, various superstars, multitude of alcoholic beverages and some really wild things, some of the items are illegal (you get the idea) yet, it this was one of the funniest things I have experienced. Then other residents joined in as they heard laughter and squeals of delight. Of course this also started reminiscing along the way. What started as an hour activity became the whole day as the residents (even those with dementia) wanted to keep adding to the list of things to take on the Yacht and the various places they wanted to visit.
Thank you for the resources provided on Golden Carers. I found them immensely valuable, relevant and worthwhile. Educational and updated information provided. Great activity ideas and suggestions. The activities presented are appropriate and can be adapted to different client groups in any English speaking country. It is easy to read and understand the instructions and explanations.
