We do something very similar. I take a branch in a pot to work ( or draw a tree on the whiteboard) and our clients write on coloured paper leaves and hang (or stick) them onto the tree. Our Thanksgiving Tree looks beautiful!
My residents love to talk, we often have discussion groups where I ask a simple question and a very long discussion ensues with so many different subjects it goes for ages. I can see these activities being very rewarding in my facility thanks for the ideas. Lisa
Golden carers has helped improve my role as Engagement and activities practitioner, so many great ideas and activities available. This page has made my life so much easier, when I'm stuck for my own ideas i head over have a look what's new and a whole new world opens up. I have used Golden carers everyday since being in my new role, its amazing. Thank you to everyone that contributes.
