Golden Carers has been a God send to me. The person before me left me winging it. So, I found Golden Carers in an internet search. I use the calendar, lots of the activity ideas, but the most appreciated is the different ideas from other members. Sometimes knowing what works in other facilities is so helpful.... I'm coming to the end of my first year, and can't wait to renew for another year.

3 ideas:
1. nuts bolts and washers. from your local hardware. Larger the better. But not too heavy. Amazon Company ( Melisa and Doug toys) have a similar set in wood. 4-5 men . supervised, for dementia and rehab (fingers).
2. Large deck of cards. 21 game/Blackjack. with cards facing up for each player. Coffee with Bailey coffee cream (non alcohol). Assist small group of men.
3. Vintage Vehicle Program. discussion, photos, name the vehicle, then color Talk about old engines, transmissions, 4barrel , 2 carb, muscle cars, ect. Vintage Coloring Books. Amazon Company

One resident's daughter brought a Hot Wheels track and cars and they would have races.
Casting and reeling in a fishing line (with a weight on the end) was fun. Lay a hula hoop in the yard and try getting the weight into the hoop.
Thanks for the info. It’s very helpful.
