I loved all of the above tips, I have one to add that may be helpful. I schedule an hour each week to learn something new; and this is where this site comes in REALLY HANDY. Just one hour researching how other facilities do things and making notes on how I can improve with the activities we are already conducting- this has turned into one of my favourite parts of the week. I make myself a cup of tea, get comfortable and research. I find that this keeps my thinking fresh and encourages me. I have a note book to jot down any relevant info, I try to implement positive changes over the following month and record the results.
This site is an absolute God Send. I cannot thank you enough for the incredible wealth of information you provide. You have saved me hours a week and literally changed my life, I look forward to exploring all you have to offer and think this site is worth every cent, massive thank you to the founders, you can see where your heart is - everything is of an excellent standard and I love the opportunity you have provided for us all to connect and share ideas. Simply Amazing.
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
