We made the soap last week at our seniors' lunch club and it was a surprising success! We used essential oils, food colouring and herbs collected from their gardens. We then presented the finished soaps in muslin bags to take home.
It took around 20 minutes in the freezer to set. I highly recommend it as an activity. best Melissa
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
