I found your article on the power of touch excellent. It’s possible to gain their trust by holding a hand, a smile means everything to a elderly person . Sometimes it is only touch remains as a form of communication. I have been putting your articles eg “growing old “ on the board in my workplace where I am activities coordinator-
I can totally agree what a excellent activity this is . I do use music in my gentle exercise class everyone reacts to music in a positive way . I will be trying this in the near future .
I have been a member for just over a month . It is such a great help in my job as a activity coordinator in a nursing home .so many new ideas to make life better for my residents.
Golden Carers has been such a help to increase the range of activity sessions that we provide. Our residents love so many of the activities that are on here. It is also lovely that we can share our own idea's to help others. I am so glad that we signed up to Golden Carers - I am always recommending it to other activity coordinators locally.
