Hi, Have you considered getting in touch with The Department of Health and Ageing ? Invite the Accreditation Agency to pay your facility a visit ! I am a Lifestyle Coordinator at 52 Resident aged care facility and My Daily Activity program for my Residents must be adhered to. Occasionally there are staff meetings that are covered by lifestyle assistant and I would run the activity and postpone my admin duties for later. We must advocate for our residents !
I am planing of getting a small washing basket and filling it in with "washing" (baby clothes,socks, hankies ect) for sorting and after adding few drops of essential oil sensory activity.
Golden Carers is an exceptional resource tool for the aged care industry. I like the quality of resources and regular newsletters alerting you to updates.
