What an awesome poem thank you for sharing. Love Golden Carers you guys sure have something for every occasion. Helps me in my search to keep our residents happy. Cheers Sancha.

I have been a member for quite a few years and yes, it sure has helped me with lots of interesting ideas and activities. So enjoy Alicia, as I am! Cheers.

Played this recently with my Dementia Residents round the table (8) and they all had such a fun time will definitely do it again. Lots of laughs from both the nurses and Residents playing and watching. Thanks for the ideas. Love Golden Carers. Cheers!

Google your request, the ABC shop has some and birds in cages too. I bought The Fish Tank, shows tropical and river fish. Our dementia residents love it. I put it on when we have music sing a long morning for a visual for the deaf ressies, they love it. So calming.

An activity for visually impaired and handicapped people is table bobs. We had a Bobs frame made with the numbers on the front over the openings where the balls are rolled. We use 6 golf balls and put an X on two of the balls for double score. We place the frame on a table that we have placed a blanket down first. Make sure you have a whiteboard handy for scoring. There is a prize for the highest man, lady and a booby prize for last. We keep a record for the year and have a trophies for the winners etc. Cheers Sancha

At our Respite Centre here in Gladstone Qld, we are involving the clients in helping to make rum balls, white Christmas etc. Putting hats and aprons and gloves on, they love being part of the preparation for Christmas! Sancha 22nd November 2011
