I have a few residents who get confused a bit when looking for their seating place in the dining room, I was going to put their names on a place mat but I'm worried this might be a bit childish. Any suggestions would be welcomed. If I do placemat names would it be best if I did all the residents? Thanking you all

I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)

I am a Diversional Therapist working at a aging in place residential facility in Cheltenham Victoria Australia. I'm trying to start up a pen pal club with a few of my residents, possibly sending pictures, news events, what we do and have at our facility etc.
If anyone is interested maybe we could start of slowly eg. one resident each and see how it goes.
My email address is [email protected] or speak to me through this link.
Thanking you
