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!

Hi all ,
Could I ask advice on making a monthly planner for residents to view. How do you do yours and what tools do you use to make one ?
Thank you x

Hi Kathryn. I use the calendar template here on Golden carers. It so easy to use, its colourful and seasonal. Printed on A3 size is perfect for the walls for the residents to veiw. It also allows for a weekend free caledar which is suited for activities at this place.
Hi Moi
Thank you for your input
I use the calendar provided here, then I save it to my PC and increase the font size. I make the boxes are bigger, which creates 2 sometimes 3 pages and I add in the days of the week on the other pages. Eg: Monday Tuesday etc. I photocopy and expand to 100% for my 5 low vision residents on the big sheets of paper.
Thank you Suzie
Very helpful
