Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well especially during this time. I find the information and activities you are sharing extremely helpful and mostly at this time. I have one question to ask! In relation to recording, documentation do any one of you have suggestions? on how best to document information? to capture activity participation sessions best. I would be grateful for all the advise.thanks in advance.

You can make a grid or chart ( spread sheet or template to help). Itemize the acivities and then "check" off their participation
Example:
Patient: Name Here
1. Balloon Ball (Hitting balloon with foam noodle)
______Enjoys ______Tries to enjoy ______ Little interest _______ no involvement
2. Arts and crafts
______Enjoys ______finds it difficult ______Enjoys but difficult _______ not interested
This is just a very rough draft but hope its helpful :) Good luck

What an amazing site with so many activities to stimulate our elderly people and to make them enjoy the togetherness of everything you offer as activities. I am from South Africa, Johannesburg and being part of such a huge "population" of carers having the same Purpose in mind, is a huge priviledge to me! I am the Nursing Manager of a Retirement home and keep on encouraging my residents to participate in this journey made possible by you. Thank you, you are such an inspiration!

I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs.
After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).

Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!

Congratulations and thanks to the Golden Carers Team for a professional and well designed website that is internationally useful and user friendly!
