Would love to share here regarding terminology to create greater sense of wellness and connectedness....
I have come across the use of the phrasing - PHYSICAL DISTANCING while socially engaging - and find it allows people to feel less 'socially isolated'…. How does that sound to you? Would this phrasing be a more friendly and caring way of addressing our present circumstances for and with the elders we care for and work with ? It still respects the present guidelines offered by official bodies regarding the situation at hand. Would Golden Carers and membership appreciate such a phrasing ? Very sincerely, Joelle
I like the term physical distancing better than social distancing I hope we get some more responses Thank you for sharing your thoughts Joelle

I prefer "physical distancing" better. I feel like it makes more sense than "social distancing". I hope I can remember to use that term myself. Thank you for such a great suggestion! Terrie
I was hesitant at first to sign up for another website for activities, but I have been pleasantly surprised. It has been fun to search all you have to offer and during Covid-19 your site has helped me and our other Life Enrichment Coordinator so much. I truly appreciate all you do and provide. It just gets better all the time. Our residents love the word searches because they are so bold and clear. We have used many of your ideas and I’m so grateful! Thank you!
