I think updating and bringing us into the 21st century would be good.

Hardly any of my clients know about the 1400's.

More music expanding with all genre of music would be nice.

Happy Birthday celebrities need to be updated if they passed away in last 2-3 years.

Thank you,

Pamela ADHC in USA

Hi Pamela, thank you for your feedback. The biographies were updated this year and include a mix of living and historical figures. This activity is designed to include a variety of interesting historical facts as well as topics many clients may remember and enjoy discussing. We appreciate your suggestions and will keep them in mind for future updates.

Congratulations Andrea

Wow it seems like you have been given a lot of responsibility but it also sounds like you are doing a great job

What I have told those applying for a job that if they volunteer they have a much better chance of getting the job than if they do not

Good luck to you and feel free to ask any question

Thank you for all you do

Hi,

I have been volunteering at an Aged Care Facility for 3 years and have just been given the job of Lifestyle Assistant, then the world went crazy!! I would like to thank you for all your ideas, I have just completed the April Calendar with lots of your wonderful ideas to fill in the gaps where I would have been taking the residents on bus tours/outings. Thank you so much, I am already looking forward to May and all the wonderful activities I can share with them.

One activity we play on a regular basis is Hang Man. We play on a huge white board and I play the part of the executioner pretending to be sad when they get the answers right (they are very good) and the little man 'gets away'. The laughter that it inspires is truly wonderful to hear and they get a small prize for freeing him. :)

Golden carers you never let us down. I have just joined up again and I’m not surprised at the amazing new activities and the old ones are still just as amazing.

Thank you that you make our jobs so much easier and so much more fun to make happen for our lovely residents. To see their smiles and laughter means so much.

Staff participating and even the manager
