Hello busy bees, I have been given a task to organize an area activities co-ordinators meeting. I am stuck for ideas where to start and what to include- subjects etc. Any help please? Anyone else have regular get togethers with others doing the same role? Thank you before ahead
I had been part of a group Can probably email facilities in the area to see if you can generate some interest You could suggest having a penpal group or having some residents come to another facility if they are able and play a mutually decided upon game If you do not want to start with getting residents together you could talk about problems that you all have You may suggest that they all join golden carers or at the very least join the Facebook group of golden Carers https://www.goldencarers.com/activities-for-seniors-facebook-group/4782/ Could also modify this https://www.goldencarers.com/what-to-include-in-a-staff-meeting/5106/ This should give you enough information to start Just curious what is the purpose of you doing this to management ??
I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!
