Hi, Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions as to fostering motivation in terms of increasing interest and participation in activities.? I have observed that it is very difficult to get some participants involved in anything but bingo and television. Field trips are great, but we can't be out all day everyday. Thanks!
HI, I am wondering if anyone has some ideas relative to breaking the ice and getting to know one's participants.I am beginning a job as an activities coordinator in a large day program for the frail elderly in an urban area and want to start off on the right foot! Any words of wisdom or suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks!
I would like to thank you all for everything you've done to help people like us, giving us the new ideas and confidence to carry on doing what we do. As you must be aware it's not the easiest job in the world, especially trying to get a smile out of someone. I wish you all the possible good wishes for the future and do hope you will continue for many years to come.
