I just renewed my membership and going into my second year. When I got the notification that my first year was expiring, I knew I had to renew, there was no doubt in my mind. GoldenCarers is PRICELESS! As a DJ and mobile entertainer for over 38 years much of my business is with assisted living facilities and GoldenCarers has taken it above and beyond my competition. It always has something useful and too many to point out. I could no imagine running my business without GoldenCarers. You guys ROCK!

Hi all .....Has anyone had any success with games on the Nintendo Wii & can you name your most popular games. I work with all different levels of dementia residents.
Hi, I have just purchased a wii for our site along with wii sports. It has boxing, golf tenis and ten pin bowling. The bowling seems to be the most popular. If it becomes sucessful i will consider Mario Kart which is a racing car game. The clients at our day centre seemed to be intersested in this as it reminded them of the days when they drove their own car. So the verdict is still out and I guess time will tell. They were not as enthusiastic as I had hoped. I think the technology frightened some , how ever the controls are reasonably easy if you have the clients who are able to operate the controls.
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers Debbie
Hi Jackie - we introduced the residents to the WII games and the response was 50/50 due to lack of confidence etc but the few residents that did try enjoyed the ten pin bowling the most, sometimes tennis while the Aussie tennis open was on. We are having a TV mounted on the wall in the "gym" area so that might inspire more residents to have a go good luck kathy
