Hi there I work in a high care facility with a special needs unit (SNU)attached. When we take SNU residents out on the bus (they don't get off)ratio is two staff plus excellent helpful driver, to 17 residents. When we take nursing home residents out, depending on where we are going and how many wheelchairs, we take three staff plus driver and as many volunteers as we can get (usually one or two).
Thanks for a great site. Is there a possibility of adding a Forum to this site, as there appears to be many people (like me) who work pretty much alone. It's good to have other DT's/Lifetylers to bounce ideas and questions off. Thanks Solange
Golden Carers is fantastic and invaluable, our clients love all the activities, quizzes and crosswords. You all make my job as a diversional therapist much easier with all your wonderful quizzes and ideas. A huge thank you to you and your team. 😊
