Hi Robyn, I have a kind of the same background as them, so I would suggest try involving them in cooking or, depending on their mobility, setting up for parties, serving food and drinks at happy hour (if you organise one). Eastern Europe is all about food, cooking, making cakes, music, having parties, family and friends. Most men are handymen, fixing things around their houses, kind 'Jacks of all trades'. Women like taking care of everyone, like you said, but also cleaning their houses, generally they don't mind house work, as they like their houses to be clean. In general, they like to help, so whatever you do ask them for help...so, I hope this has helped you a little to find activities for them. Good luck! Warm regards Vlasta
Your site is easy to use, I use it more often than the one our consultant has set up! I use so many of your ideas and love the Facebook page where everyone shares ideas, concerns and triumphs! I feel connected to a big wonderful caring society! I am always telling my co-workers how awesome Golden Carers is. I feel it is more in touch with the needs of my residents than many of the other Recreational Therapy sites.
