This is my go to site. I have looked at the others, but Golden Carers has a sense of fun and creativity that makes the activities we do enjoyable for all. They are adaptable for all levels. We did the Olympic Day and had a blast. Everyone got up and participated !!! Thank you.

I wondered if anyone would like to start a pen pal group between my facility and yours. We are located in Australia in Victoria. So even if someone from Australia wants to do it let me know please
Hi Jenny, I think some of my residents would actually love doing that. I am located in Wahroonga Sydney,
Hi Jenny
No one has asked this question in a while, but this article including comments will be helpful to you

That would be awesome! [email protected] - Justin Zimmerman
If I can get it approved from facility, I would love to pen pal from our Cherished Memories Unit. It is made up of residents suffering with Alzheimer's and dementia. We could share artwork with you, and I can transcript for them and reply. We would love to learn about your country and see some photos as we are in the United States and could share some of our beautiful country as well. Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you.
What a great idea!!!!!! I’m going to put this on my calendar and see if anyone is interested!

Please email me and we can talk about how to do l am sure it will be good for all
We started one but many of the residents didn't get letters back and some were disappointed.
We are a long term care facility in Canada. Would love to try again.

We would love to do this with someone. How many people do you have that are interested in doing the pen pal system?
Hi l think we will run the pen pals as a facility activity for all residents to participate sending a bulk number of letters. With information and other things the residents would like to share. The address of my facility is

We are currently doing this with a local school. The residents LOVE getting cute letters from the 1st & 2nd grade students. And their teacher has told me that the kids love is so much as well. We are going to plan a picnic in May so everyone can meet each other.
Yes please, this is such a good idea.
We are a nursing/residential care home for the elderly in the UK..
