I just renewed my membership and going into my second year. When I got the notification that my first year was expiring, I knew I had to renew, there was no doubt in my mind. GoldenCarers is PRICELESS! As a DJ and mobile entertainer for over 38 years much of my business is with assisted living facilities and GoldenCarers has taken it above and beyond my competition. It always has something useful and too many to point out. I could no imagine running my business without GoldenCarers. You guys ROCK!

I have just gained a position in a respite house with limited space. Also clients do not live there but spend a day sometimes 2 or 3 days. Am interested in suggestions.
Are your clients having respite from being a carer of a relative with dementia? do a leisure profile for your clients even if brief will guide you in a choice of person centred activities
Good recreation activities are cards, board games, newspapers and magazines. Try some outside activities enjoying the garden etc, encourage help with the meal and suggestions on what to cook.
However if your clients are very frail or have dementia you might need to plan some sensory activities and activities related to their level of cognition.
At our respite care ministry we play Jenga Giant. The wood blocks sit on a table and our participants and volunteers have a blast.
