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
This is really a good website. Helps in every way and reminds us of special days and programs that we can include in our activities. Well done!You make our life easier.
Golden carers has helped improve my role as Engagement and activities practitioner, so many great ideas and activities available. This page has made my life so much easier, when I'm stuck for my own ideas i head over have a look what's new and a whole new world opens up. I have used Golden carers everyday since being in my new role, its amazing. Thank you to everyone that contributes.
