I often read a childrens nursery book to a client in a nursing home, thats mentally challenged and she cannot count properly at all but knows a lot of nursery rhythmes.
I'm still just a homecare person, hope to be a RAO one day, just need build up my confidence.. I would like to volunteer somewhere on my day off to assist a RAO one day a week to gain practical exp.
I have only done a c4 health and Leisure course finished end of last yr.. haven't actually worked as one yet I do homecare at moment.. but i would suggest maybe starting with the 5 senses, using main headings in care plans, review forms etc and brainstorming maybe even in a group or with a friend and see how many descriptive and appropriate words you can come up with.
How do we get involved in a post card exchange between facilities..? Can someone explain how it actually works, I'd like to suggest it where I am doing work placement..
Thank you for your articles and for providing a place to go for someone with no experience in this field. Without people like you I'd be completely lost! THANK YOU!!!
