I did your DIY bingo game using the names of residents who play bingo and all the names of the staff; both first and last names. My residents love it! They are learning everyones names and enjoy it so much when their name is called! I love Golden Carers.

How many are doing person centered care any comments
Hi Lori, I am a Activity Coordinator in the UK and I work in a 60 bed nursing home with all levels of Dementia. My work is person-centred and I work with residents so that they can maintain old interests and lifestyles. I gain as much information from the resident as well as their family and friends so that I can tailor a plan to meet their needs physically, mentally and spiritually. It’s not always easy but very worthwhile.
Could you give any examples of this?
Basically just offer activities or things that interest the person. For example, we don't want to only have Bingo as an activity when Sally finds no purpose and has no interest in bingo. How can you be more person centered with Sally? That would be to find out what she used to enjoy doing/currently enjoys and tailor activities to fit what she would like to do. You could also find out more about her past job/career and offer meaningful activities based on what she used to do.
