Hi Hayley i have brought on herb and spices from the garden and cupboard, this lead to discussion on cooking recipes and even herbal remedies . The residents loved this and want to do it again.you could even just do a group of herbs then coordinate with the kitchen for lunch to have these herbs and spices included in there lunch

Golden Carers has been a God send to me. The person before me left me winging it. So, I found Golden Carers in an internet search. I use the calendar, lots of the activity ideas, but the most appreciated is the different ideas from other members. Sometimes knowing what works in other facilities is so helpful.... I'm coming to the end of my first year, and can't wait to renew for another year.
