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.
I am beyond excited to have been introduced to Golden Carers. I am thrilled about what this will mean for my residents. I am a HCA and just accepted another position as an Assistant Manager in a Supportive Living facility. Thank you for this wonderful site and all the resources.
