I am the chair of the Culinary Committee at my Independent Living community. I'm trying to develop guidelines and a charge from our Resident Council so there is some structure to pass on to new members and a new chair if they ever let me leave. Would love to see anything you have in your communities to help me do that. Thanks for your help!

We already meet monthly with our Culinary Director, communicate between meetings in person or with texts or emails, and conducted our first Dining Survey in January that got a 52% response rate. We're involved in menu planning and changes, and I make detailed reports to our monthly Resident Council meetings.

Your site is easy to use, I use it more often than the one our consultant has set up! I use so many of your ideas and love the Facebook page where everyone shares ideas, concerns and triumphs! I feel connected to a big wonderful caring society! I am always telling my co-workers how awesome Golden Carers is. I feel it is more in touch with the needs of my residents than many of the other Recreational Therapy sites.

Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
