Hello Sheri and Daz.....heartwarming to read your struggles. There is nothing worse than the brigade that tell us we are slow, because we care, give that bit extra time, listen, assist and laugh. We all know we have to conform to certain times e.g. Lunch is the most common, but apart from that, we cannot be regimented and I admire your commitments. I have likeminded friends in the caring world and can only say onwards and upwards. When in doubt I use the bench mark of "if this was my loved one, what would I want for them" it usually puts my mind at peace as to the right or wrongs in a situation. Bestests to all carers.
It's really wonderful to see our clients so engaged with the puzzles and word searches, the Trivia is really popular and our participants get a buzz out of getting the answers correct. Golden Carers is our "Go To" resource on a weekly basis and it is rewarding for our working day to add it to our activity programs.
