I had a great time organising the Arm Chair travel to Portugal. Thanks Golden Carers for all the information provided ... it made is so very easy for us to plan this activity.
To make the activity a lot more interesting and memorable for our residents, I decided to dress up as an air hostess and welcomed all the residents to activity. We checked them at the immigration spot we set up, we checked their passports and then led them to their respective seats as provided to them on their boarding passes !!! Our chef turned out some great food too which was served by us air hostesses!!
While the residents were enjoying their meal, the armchair travel to Portugal was played for them to watch on you tube. When all this was happening, we the lifestyle girls ran away for a few minutes and dressed as local Portugal girls and soon came out dancing to the Portuguese music .... It was awesome seeing our residents faces light up and enjoy the moment... some of our residents joined us in dancing too.
Right until today our residents still reminisce about the way we hosted this activity...
Thank you for all the wonderful ideas. Never disappointed when looking for inspiration when logging on to Golden Carers. We are so fortunate to have access to so many different ideas to use on a daily basis. Cannot thank you all enough for the wonderful work you do putting all those resources at our fingertips.
