Thank you for keeping this website going! also, thanks to everyone for awesome ideas! We are truly in this together! Happy Holidays!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Golden Carers and all the wonderful people who give input and ideas. This has been so helpful and my residents love the activities. So from my clients and myself, MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Gina

I started the Laughing Basket. Everyone gets an item out and wears it, or it may be a toy, or just a funny item. I have extra large crazy glasses, jacks, clown noses, rubber chicken finger sling shots, emoji stress ball, bubbles, etc. They seem to really enjoy the items.

Hi Mary, I have a small exercise group that loves to exercise to fun songs. We row to "Row Row Row your boat" or pretend to ride a bike to the fun song of "Bicycle built for two". So its more fun and they don't think about the exercise. I also started a monthly drawing and whenever they come to my avtivities they get their name in a basket. At the end of the month A winner will be drawn. ( They love prizes)
Also, a small dnce group, even chair dancing is fun. Hope this helps!
