Hi there - guessing you are in Australia from the flag ????. The Aged Care Safety and Quality Commission have guidelines. As they do the accreditation for homes, if you follow there guidelines you can't go wrong. You can also use their guidelines to advocate for pets in the home (excrement and all) especially if it's what your residents want.
I'm thrilled that I discovered this marvellous site. It has become my "bible" for ideas, information and creativity. My clients absolutely love the activities I've picked up from Golden Carers. Thank you.
