Hi Melinda, I work in a community based organisation. I hold 'Health Forums' every now and then and have a few guest speakers come in on the day. Our speakers are all health related - eg Diabetes, continence, falls prevention, nutrition etc Hope this helps!
Thanks Taryn, this will give me a great place to start!

These are all great ideas! Our local hospital, hospice, and mental health facilities offer "outreach" speakers who will come and visit with us about a variety of topics: advanced directives and care planning, Alzheimer's disease prevention, vitamins, alternative health therapies (acupuncture, etc.), chair exercises, depression, etc. Some of our tenants also have children/grandchildren who work in health care and are happy to share some of their expertise with us when I ask.
You can try school teachers or principles, city councillors, firemen, police and paramedics. Animal rescue and wild life people also make good speakers.
Thankyou Nori & Kim These are fantastic ideas and lot of them I hadn't thought of. I am already on my way & have organised our local Dietician to do a talk very soon. I will be using all these great ideas. Thankyou
Golden Carers has been a God send to me. The person before me left me winging it. So, I found Golden Carers in an internet search. I use the calendar, lots of the activity ideas, but the most appreciated is the different ideas from other members. Sometimes knowing what works in other facilities is so helpful.... I'm coming to the end of my first year, and can't wait to renew for another year.
