Hey everyone I have a few people who are up for anything and sadly some would rather not be disturbed and do not want to enjoy the activity and make that super clear, I am finding it so hard with the people who do not want to do anything some I can’t force them to come along but I feel like they are being left out I don’t really know where I stand with this has anyone had this problem I’m going this alone so some people aren’t very able to do certain things and with a large group I’m limited to spilt myself in two :(
Hello everyone I have just started a new job as a activities co ordinator 2 days in I’m feeling the pressure first time in this role I am enjoying it, little bit nervous but I’m finding it hard to engage some of our residents some mobile some not so much some would prefer to do nothing we have played a game of bingo today and some who wanted to play just didn’t warm to it or me can I have some advice or some more ideas currently haven’t been showed my activities cupboard yet so I’m working with not much at all thank you.
Thank you very much to Golden Carers for creating such an informative website. You have assisted me and my colleagues in developing a fun and engaging activities programme that is meaningful and interesting for our Bristol Care Homes residents. You are also our plan B in the event that plan A does not go as planned. We strongly advise all activity workers to join you.
