I absolutely love this site. I find the resources and ideas invaluable in my role as a Recreational Activities Officer in a large Nursing Home. The abundance of ideas, quizzes, and printable forms are helping me help the residents find their inner “fun” which had previously been missing. THANK YOU from myself and the residents!!

Hi! New to my position in Activities and new to Golden Carers!
At our facility we have orientation for our new hires- each department head discusses our department- was wondering what fun things other facilities do at their orientations to make it more fun and interesting!
Hi Marady

Hello Marady,
I am in the same position as you, new to the Lesure and Lifestyle role, I have found a few things through this site and on the web, I have just introduced , balloon tennis (fly swats and balloons) our residents love this, as well as Ball drums, large exercise balls in a basket and music they can hit the beat too.
I have just purchased a set of three dice and looking for ideas, the dice are large around 12 inches square.
have fun Bobbie
Where did you purchase your baskets and balls? I have a very slim budget and would love to incorporate this!
Hi Marady
Can you help Jan out?
I’d like purchasing things at dollar tree or another dollar type store
Also, Oriental Trading has some good buys
