Everything in Golden Carers is so precious. I feel my mind was blown and my eyes were opened after I joined the group. Thanks so much. I just keep learning.

The Light for a Life on the 22nd Dec involved writing messages to loved ones on paper angels for our tree and the residents each did a Christmas themed poetry reading with carols.
On the 24th Dec we had our own carol service, a similar format with the residents doing their own short of winter poem readings and Carols.
I set up a table and candles to set the scene. It was such a nice thing to do to make them feel involved.
We have two lounges so the service was repeated in the afternoon. I baked two Christmas cakes and served that with afternoon tea.
It was brilliant to do and our manager filmed the services and put it on our family app.
Another idea we started this season was to create artwork for the residents and visitor meeting area.
It not only gives a real focus in crafts but also cheers everyone up in these difficult times.
This sounds great
Do you have any ideas you want to share for January??
Our residents want to run the group themselves and I will facilitate.
Will keep you posted to how it develops.
This would be fantastic if it works out
You can always modify it if necessary
