Tried this for our Family Home Evening activity using the names of our residents for the story line. It was hilarious. Even our most grumpy resident was smiling.
We are going on a "virtual" holiday around Australia at the moment. The Residents are very excited and involved. They love telling stories about the towns they have visited as we arrive there. We have a large map and folders and each town we stop at I print out a brochure about the town and put it in their folders. It is a lot of fun
I love Golden Carers! When I first became an ‘Activity Aide’ I spent hours scouring the internet looking for meaningful activities for elders experiencing cognitive decline. I finally found ‘Golden Carers’! I’ve passed along ’the find’ to the Activity Director of where I work. Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is much more than a great resource for activities - it’s an education on how to provide ‘life’ to both workers and our elders.
