Hello everybody! I need suggestions... I work as a recreational therapist in 2 different centers. The organization I work for comes from the federal government. The ministry is asking us to have an activity program 7 days a week. Since I'm not in the 2 centers all week long, I would need your suggestions to find activities that caregivers and Beneficiary Attendants can do with the residents when I'm not there. Do you think of anything other than coloring, manicuring and playing a movie?

Thank you,

Maude

Golden Carers is a wonderful resource. I really like the idea that more of it is going to be in video format as this grabs my participant's attention! Even after 20 years in the activity director role, the ideas in Golden Carers are often refreshingly innovative and really useful, even on the fly. Your help is invaluable! Many thanks!
