Golden Carers has been such a help to increase the range of activity sessions that we provide. Our residents love so many of the activities that are on here. It is also lovely that we can share our own idea's to help others.
I am so glad that we signed up to Golden Carers - I am always recommending it to other activity coordinators locally.
Happy New Year to all.
I am looking for activities for our seniors that can not get out of their homes and just need a pick me up. We are a senior community center and they are driving by for activities. So far we have down a birdhouse , butterfly house, cookie decorating mugs filled with goodies....but I am running out of ideas....HELP!!!
Hi Michelle
Read this article and the comments that go along with it for ideas
I like the activity packet idea which you can change up every time you hand things out

Hi Michelle, you could try rain gauges to monitor rainfall, some may like it. Also, growing succulents, unraveling sweaters for recycling the wool, making tissue flowers for Mother’s Day, drawing famous artists' emulation pictures, making bookmarks, and Abayomi rag dolls as gifts.

We give our clients a booklet every week filled with wordsearch, crosswords, games, cartoons and more. We always include features like "this week in history", "animal of the week" as well as reminiscing pages, poetry, optical illusions and so much more. They love receiving the booklet and it gives them something to work on at home throughout the week. The booklet is usually 25-30 pages long and we keep things lighthearted and fun!
Hi Jen
Wow
It is wonderful that you are able to make a book like this it sounds like a lot of work but you are doing a good job
Thank you for all you do
