We have a Knitting Group that meet weekly even those who could not knit anymore come just for social or a chat for an hour then have afternoon tea together it’s a good way also to include a new resident make them feel included.
I use balloon and each resident has a cut to size pool noodle to hit the balloon with and keep it in the air a warm up before exercise so much laughter, then ready for exercise.
I love Golden Carers! When I first became an ‘Activity Aide’ I spent hours scouring the internet looking for meaningful activities for elders experiencing cognitive decline. I finally found ‘Golden Carers’! I’ve passed along ’the find’ to the Activity Director of where I work. Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is much more than a great resource for activities - it’s an education on how to provide ‘life’ to both workers and our elders.
