We have been utilizing Golden Cares for several years now, and we honestly can't (and don't want to) remember life before stumbling upon your site. We believe our residents' lives have been enriched due to a diverse and exciting activity regime, much to do with your priceless resource(s). Thank you for helping us to care for our seasoned citizens. :)

I need your opinions please:
I am brand new as Activities Director for a Senior Day Center. Most of our clients (when they return) have pretty good cognitive abilities. Moderately functioning etc. I'm told they love to paint and with that in mind I want to order easels and canvas for them to paint on. Nothing larger than 8" or 10". Especially for those that are able to do this kind of art/craft. I want them to feel artistic and of course music to compliment the mood. Since our attendance is gong to be cut in half, I thought it would be a good time to try more creative ideas and grow with it. Any other suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks bunches in advance
