My name is Jane, I haven't work in this field for long but fine it very rewarding. I have been asked to write a sunset program. Can someone please suggest and guide me in the right direction of setting and implementing this program

Hi Jane, Good for you asking questions! I have been in this work for over 20years & any sunset (assuming this is a 'sundowning behaviour by dementia residents') program. The program should be quiet not noisy, related to the residents era (ie music, readings, poems, stories, mail, craft) or walks gentle movement to music to assist with resting at night...Talk also to family members to ask what their loved one used to do around that time of day at home.....
Hello, I have just renewed my membership after spending a year with Golden Carers. My residents in the home where I am Activities leader have totally enjoyed all the activities I have used from your website. I have used your newsletter templates, quizzes, word games, "This Day in History", painting pages, seasonal topics, and many more. Keep up the good work in helping us provide meaningful care for our precious residents that we are privileged to look after ✨️
