We really enjoyed ourselves!! This web-site is the BEST. I have set aside the other resources at my facility since I discovered Golden Cares. I am so thankful for all the work that has gone into this site. It makes my life as a recreation coordinator enjoyable. Thank you

Hi all,
I’ve been asked to think of items to keep in a room for a family member to sleep in if their relative is on end of life.
I’ve got inspirational quote packs, bible, prayer books, poem books.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Tea and Coffee making facilities. Magazine. Word searches. Crosswords. Soduku.
Good idea Ann
An oil burner or vaporiser with lavendar oil
Melinda that’s another good idea
What about a list of suggestions on what they can do for their loved one. Some families feel the need to be doing something to feel useful. Lavender lotion for hand massages
Brush their hair
Toothettes for mouth care
Bring family photos to look through to go down memory lane.
Read to them
And a book of what to expect at the end of life’s journey.
A cozy blanket
Tooth brush
Gift certificate to local pizza place or cafeteria
Coffee, tea, bottled water, granola bars
We have a small kitchen island on wheels, with a keurig, that we stock with the above items and other things. It can be rolled right into any room.
Hi Tawny
These are great ideas
Thank you
