I started a monthly incentive chart. From August to November. For every 2:00 activity that a resident attends they get a sticker by their name. It equals to a 1.00. At Christmas i have a christmas store set up and they get to shop with their "fake money". The residents love it so much and it has really increased my attendance. I get donations from families and business all through the year. Try it, you will be suprised.
I just did the left and right game where you take small prizes and wrap them in saran wrap into a ball. You read the poem that goes with it. I found it on this site. The residents pass the ball back and forth trying to get a prize. They loved it.
Golden Carers is AMAZING! We use it every day in one capacity or another. It has assisted to make our jobs easier as well as stepping up our activities! Thank you for all the materials and resources, keep up the GREAT work!
