Hi,
I am employed as an activities coordinator within the inpatient mental health setting. I usually work in mental health recovery and rehabilitation yet was seconded to Aged care. I joined Golden Carers to learn and develop skills relating to Aged care. I have utilised the site almost every day. It has been a goldmine of ideas relating to activities as well as tips on how to work with the consumers. Thankyou so much for all of the information, support and ideas your site have provided. I have shared the information with staff in order that they to have the opportunity to learn as well as provide activities to do with the consumers. Best wishes for 2022.
