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
You're quite the special angel here to assist everyone. It takes a special kind of person to deal with seniors - they are not given the respect or credit they so deserve to have lasted this long on this earth. To have witnessed such history is amazing. So many are forgotten about and I try everyday to share RAOKs (Random Acts of Kindness) with any person I see that could use it - thank you again for the great ideas which I hope to spread around the area to help make others know how special they are.
