I have also had success with Chicken Soup books at a senior day car facility. I am going to try recording some Nora Ephron, Erma Bombeck, and James Herriot for our You Tube channel, since we are not doing in-person reading right now due to Covid.
I may try some themed stories such as the Lincoln's beard story for President's Day or Armistice Poems for Veteran's Day.
We really enjoyed ourselves!! This web-site is the BEST. I have set aside the other resources at my facility since I discovered Golden Cares. I am so thankful for all the work that has gone into this site. It makes my life as a recreation coordinator enjoyable. Thank you
