I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. Thanks again Golden Carers - keep up the SUPER work!!!!!
Finish the Sayings - wow - our residents only got stumped by one - they were really hot and this activity was well received. Thank you Golden Carers - so glad I found you.
Hi, this site is new for me and is a super wonderful resource. We adapted this musical bingo to musical tic tac toe, though for the dementia residents, it was a bit of a challenge (though I thought it would be easy). We used songs as He's Got the Whole World, Daisy, Daisy, Clementine, and other familiar "folk" songs - it was great to see the expressions as we sang each song when the title was called.
Thanks for the hard work you put into making our Jobs a bit simpler....This is such a valuable site for all Diversional Therapists. I can't thank you enough :-)
