I salute Haley for her heartfelt and absolute accurate description of my inner turmoil and realization that I am completely burnt out.....Giving, listening, comforting, endearing, being the only light in the darkness of a mind that is no more..... Thank you Golden Carers, for so many wonderful ideas of keeping my Residents busy and enjoying the times of resourcefulness, laughter and fun! Thank you. May the Christmas season and 2024 bring a new twinkle to our eyes and new courage amidst the 2023 burnout. Love, Annatjie
I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!
