HI Candace, talk to your residents and ask them why activities are so important to them and what they would like to see happen. I'm sure you will find many of them will assist you with your in service and it will make them feel as though their feedback is wanted and valued..
I worked at a Day Centre where each Friday a group of clients would gather in the Libarary, they chose the book which was to be read and they met every Friday afternoon to listen to someone reading that book, the last one I read with them was "The Potato Factory" they loved it... some of the clients had a go at reading it out aloud too....
I just find Golden Carers fantastic. You are so up to date with the material you provide us with. Thank you so much for your efficiency and for all you teach us. Keep up the good work!
