Alternative to Valentine's Day? I found most residents I work with are not keen on Valentine's Day, especially as many have lost their spouse, so could you please included some alternative activity resources, such something based upom "C" Day when Australia change over to decimal currency in 1966? Thanks.
We also use a Wii weekly in our low-care wing. A few residents play and enjoy 10 pin bowling, and a few like to watch. Maybe try a video hire shop or game retailer locally about hiring one for a few weeks before deciding?
I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs. After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).
Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!
Congratulations and thanks to the Golden Carers Team for a professional and well designed website that is internationally useful and user friendly!
