can any of your residents walk in your facility garden with their walkers to pick flowers, even if you cut them and they place them in the baskets of their walker.
Our residents played Ginger Beer Pong. We used Cascade Ginger Beer mini cans in a green can which looked like the real deal. Our residents have intellectual disabilities so we gave them 3 rows of paper cups to aim for. Everyone manage to get one in even the blind resident. Prizes were given for successful Pongs. Residents appeared to enjoy Beer Pong allowing staff to have a go as well (some staff were not as accurate )
Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
