Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.

Hi everyone. I hope that the new year is going well for you. I am enjoying all the activities that Golden Carers and its members provide and I have tried many of them but the one I do most is the wheelchair travel the residents likes that. I am from the U.S. Virgin Island and I took my residents on a travel there and to Antigua and Barbuda and they loved it. the face that these are places when I am from and grew up made it easy to talk a little about the customs of the islands and the culture too. It's amazing to see how their faces light up when they see these places that we visit.
I am also doing some "how it's made" shows looking at things we use everyday and how they are made. This too is another activity the residents enjoy because after watching we have a discussion on what they just saw.
Thank you Golden Carers. You've made creating activities easy.
Hi Cecilia
Thank you for your kind words
It sounds to me like you are a very creative person
You must be a great activity, Director
Your residents are f very lucky
Hi Cecilia,
Can you suggest some "how it's made" shows or links? I think my people would really love that! It's a great idea!
Thank you!

HI Jen,
I choose things that they use and see every day like: how ice cream is made, things like wheel chair, kayak, potato chips, fireworks. The residents were fascinated as how these things were made. When I am on a break I look for things that might interest them and save to the library for future use.
Thanks so much! I am going to start a series with this idea!
I'm interested in where you find resources for how they are made. Is it here on this site or do you google for video's. Do you speak about it or show slides? It's a great idea - just can't figure out how it is done. Any information is appreciated.
Hi,
I am more that happy to guide you. How it's made is not on this site, that's on you tube. So google you tube and when it comes up go to their search tab and type in how it's made. There are many to choose from so you can review that ones that you think your residents will like and save it in your library, then when you are ready to play the videos you go to your history and play. You will not need to talk about the video because everything is explained about the items that are being made. There is also one that is called Modern Marvels which is as good as How it's made. If you are still having trouble with getting it done please do not hesitate to reach our.
Thank you! I'm excited to use these with my group. Modern Marvels Lighthouses episode will be my first- we live in a town with one of our country's oldest lighthouse!
Hi Jan.
I am happy for you and please keep me updated as to how things are going. If you have questions on anything do not hesitate to send me a message.'
