Hi Mary, I would strongly recommend you spend some time developing a 'Volunteer's Program'. Volunteers help cannot be underestimated. With volunteers you may have 2 or 3 simultaneously activities. For instance you may have an outdoor activity (supervised by a volunteer); reading group, gardening, high tea. At the same time the residents could enjoy another activity indoors such as balloon playing, Snakes and ladders, sing-along, etc.

I love Golden Carers! When I first became an ‘Activity Aide’ I spent hours scouring the internet looking for meaningful activities for elders experiencing cognitive decline. I finally found ‘Golden Carers’! I’ve passed along ’the find’ to the Activity Director of where I work. Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is much more than a great resource for activities - it’s an education on how to provide ‘life’ to both workers and our elders.
