Thank you Golden carers for all the great ideas. My residents really enjoy the quizzes and some of the craft activities. They especially want "This day in history". I try to make it a morning ritual after the newspaper reading. This month there are so many great ideas for St Patrick's day, many I have printed off to use. I take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy St Patrick's day. Here is my beautiful cat, she is much more photogenic than me!

I have recently visited a few aged care facilities where they have the programme on big screens has anybody else have this and is it a special software? If so, have you seen any benefits?
Hi Katja,
Is this programme on the screen a list of the activities for that day, or is it more of a monthly calendar?
Golden Carers actually have an online software tool called "Golden Care Tools" which is designed for activity coordinators to plan and manage upcoming activities and client attendnace:

There is a short video on the homepage you can watch, and at the 50 second mark it shows a calendar of upcoming activities you can print.
You could easily use this document to display on a screen for people to see.
I hope that answers your question. If you have any more details I'm interested to learn more about the screen you saw at these facilities.
Hi Katja,
Yes I have my program on TV in foyer so new residents, families can view what we offer I change it every month.
It was part of my CI for two years ago. We had great feed back on it
