We have opened a little store in our Retirement Home. The profit of the store goes to the Resident Council. I have two volunteers to run the shop which is opened two days a week. It was important to me to have the store to give our residents a sense of Independence. The residents can buy what they want and not have to rely on other people. It makes for happier people. We do cash sales only.
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
