Hi, I have just joined Golden Carers and have come across this link. I would love to get involved in this activity. I am the only activities coordinator at the moment in a 60 place house, the majority of our residents have dementia. The home has been without an activitiy coordinator for a while and our residents are struggling to be interested in activities, although slowly they are beginning to. What I am finding is they like to talk about their families and past places and I thought a penpal activity would be good and something for them to look forward to. If anyone would be interested please email me at [email protected].
I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
