I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs.
After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).
Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!
Congratulations and thanks to the Golden Carers Team for a professional and well designed website that is internationally useful and user friendly!

Sensory stimulation is always a good idea you can have a group of residents sitting at the table but address each person individually and you could have things for people to do if they if you are not working with them
Such as coloring activities of daily living or work related activities such as folding towels or other things

Hello, I am trying to have residents participate in the activities. I have the ones that always come but I want more than just 4-5. I work in Memory Care. There are some residents that just sleep and watch TV. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
