Hey, how about having each resident do planting in pots from medium to large to sit along the outside, and schedule residents to water on watering day with a light weight hose while other have ice cream and popsicles, a great way to bring in the summer while watching what they plant grow. let me know if this works for you and how they enjoyed it.
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.
