Grateful for Golden Carers! This site offers so much content. I oversee 20 communities and sharing new information is a blessing! Sometimes we find ourselves in a rut....thanks for ideas I've never thought about!
Sandra, this is not an uncommon situation to be short handed, everyone is. My facility does the same thing but they have hired 2 part time people that are not CENAS and can not really be pulled to the floor for direct care. maybe you could talk to the powers that be and remind them that recreation department is suffering and pass along the idea of hiring at least one part time person that could fill in.
I just renewed my membership. Couldn't be without the brilliant info and activities you supply to do my job with satisfaction. The resources are brilliant and made my job easier, more fun and so much more interesting. I work at a day centre for the elderly and they love all the ideas. Many thanks!
Thank you for your kind words
Sounds like you have a big job and glad this site helps you with it
Keep up the good work
Thanks again
I’d like your idea. I hope it works.
