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
Golden Carers is a phenomenal and creative resource of activities for the senior population and people with dementia. They also provide resources and support for the caregiver too. I liked all the different types of activities that were available. You could pick and choose from a plethora of items the activities appropriate for your group. Keep on doing what you are doing. So many people's lives have been touched and improved by your website. Your website is a blessing to many organisations.
