hi daz i have done the spark of life program a while ago a very interesting concept which works very well but the only draw back i found is that if your management do not bring the concept into your facility and everyone is educated and follow the principals it is very hard to implement anyway that is what i found.
Posted by Suzy/15th July 2013 i also have done the Spark of Life program.found it to be a very interesting concept too...but I do agree with Dorothy unless all staff are on board with the program it is very hard to implement the day therapy centre where I am.
I love Golden Carers! When I first became an ‘Activity Aide’ I spent hours scouring the internet looking for meaningful activities for elders experiencing cognitive decline. I finally found ‘Golden Carers’! I’ve passed along ’the find’ to the Activity Director of where I work. Thank you again for all that you do - Golden Carers is much more than a great resource for activities - it’s an education on how to provide ‘life’ to both workers and our elders.
