Hi I haven’t done what you are describing but I have had scavenger boxes on walls with mostly tactile stuff objects I them so residents could help themselves to what they wanted Mabye not so good for cross contamination but idea for when activity’s return to normal
What a fab idea for residents to give to loved ones at Christmas a lovely personal touch. I will definitely try this nearer to Christmas thanks golden Carers
Hi Everyone I have worked as a activity coordinator for 11 months now but lately I have been feeling quite disheartened as the management has changed where I work and I feel that every activity I do is being scrutinised and there are a number of residents who don’t want to take part
I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)
