Hi, I'm thinking to introduce a fake bus stop in the facility to accomodate residents with dementia who want to go home. Can anyone give me suggestions in regards to where to place the busstop, preferably outside. Does it have to be near a road to make it real or can we place it along a footpath which would be much safer. Any other comments and experiences would be much appreciated! Thanks, Annemarie
Hi, I noticed the postcard exchange between Golden Carer members and that's a great idea. It made me wonder if we could start a postcard exchange between residents in facilities all over Australia? Annemarie
Hi, does anyone have experience in starting up a choir with residents (and staff) in residential aged care? Please let me know your tips and ideas. Much appreciated, Annemarie
Hi, every year before Christmas we have a Christmas Variety Show in our aged care facility. We are running out of ideas for simple songs and skits to perform with residents and staff. So anyone with a good idea please let us know. We're happy to share our ideas as well. Thanks, Annemarie
Golden Carers is just wonderful. An amazing resource shared all over the world. I use Golden carers on a daily basis and added with Pinterest, it just makes my job that little bit easier on those days when inspiration doesn't come easy. I love that there is always something new every time I look.
