Hi all I am a new day service coordinator for a new day service for 15 ladies (Golden Girls) aged from 65 to 70 years of age and all of which have intellectual disabilities. Some of the ladies have more capacity than others and some are more mobile than others. Many of the ladies are non-verbal. I have been asked to build a programme of meaningful activities for the ladies Monday to Friday from 11 am to 1 pm daily, also all the ladies would not attend together, we have pod system due to Covid Restrictions, The Maximum number of ladies I would have would be 5. I have a few ideas ie. Card Making, reminiscence work, Flower arranging, chair exercise, Arts and crafts, bingo hand and head massage etc.
I would appreciate any ideas or advice on how to start this programme up so that the ladies all get something meaningful and fulfilling from it.
Golden Carers is just wonderful. An amazing resource shared all over the world. I use Golden carers on a daily basis and added with Pinterest, it just makes my job that little bit easier on those days when inspiration doesn't come easy. I love that there is always something new every time I look.
