I work in a long-term care facility where we have a significant amount of young adults. I work on a unit where my youngest resident is 43 and my oldest is 107. In talking with some of them, I realized that they yearn for a connection with people their age. Does anyone have any suggestions on program ideas targeted specifically with them in mind? I want to start a group specifically for our younger residents so they can feel a connection with their peers.
Hi Freya This is a tough group to get engaged I have always found food to be a great motivator Here are some ideas that you might have to modify a bit https://www.goldencarers.com/activities-for-the-baby-boomer-generation-/4422/ Don’t forget to ask them what they would like to do and perhaps you can modify things he used to do Sometimes I called the group sponsored by younger residents because they didn’t come. I had that open the group up to everyone.
Golden Carers is AMAZING! We use it every day in one capacity or another. It has assisted to make our jobs easier as well as stepping up our activities! Thank you for all the materials and resources, keep up the GREAT work!
