I was hesitant at first to sign up for another website for activities, but I have been pleasantly surprised. It has been fun to search all you have to offer and during Covid-19 your site has helped me and our other Life Enrichment Coordinator so much. I truly appreciate all you do and provide. It just gets better all the time. Our residents love the word searches because they are so bold and clear. We have used many of your ideas and I’m so grateful! Thank you!

Hi there, I am new to Activities am both excited and nervous at the same time. Having a complete change of Career!!! Any tips starting out at the minute am doing one to one's just getting to know my Residents just started 2 days ago and am going to plan Activities for next week?
Hi Nikki
Congratulations on your new role
It is a good idea to do wand ones to get to know the residents
Golden Carers has many great activity ideas
If you could be a little more specific about the likes and dislikes and the abilities of the residents I could be of more help
In general you want to have a resident council meeting and listen to what the residents have to say

Hi Nikki
Congratulations on your new role. Whilst I don't work as a Lifestyle Coordinator, I have worked with aged care clients for many years. I have personally never found a better website than Golden Carers - so you absolutely have your choice of activities here! Getting ideas for activities from residents, organise a calendar of events and above all have as much fun as the residents do!!
Ah thanks so much really appreciate this x
