was wondering if anyone could tell me where to look and find out how to find out the benifits from doing an activity.Words to explain the benfits of the activity went.
hi Michelle The benefits of doing activities are to meet the individual need of the resident so if you do an exercise fun group you would be promoting full body movements to the capabilities of each person you would be promoting hand and eye coordination and fun and laughter. if you were doing music sing a long you would be enhancing reminiscence you would be promoting olfactory memories which in turn promotes story telling and socialisation and is always great fun . these are a few i hope this gives you an idea , i would be happy to write out a detailed list for you if you like just leave a message on this page i will keep a look out for it the very best of luck to you
Hi Dorothy - new to aged care activities and golden carers - but I would also appreciate a copy of your list if you still have it - realise this posting has been going for a while now. Thanks. Fay
We have been a member of Golden Carers for the past 5 years and honestly, it makes our lives here both easier and more interesting!!! The hours it saves us when planning activities for our residents result in delivering quality activities. Our residents love the word searches and crosswords and the armchair travels have brought happy memories of holidays. Thank you for all you do!
