This site has meant the world to me. It is so broad and covers a lot of aspects of Elderly living. I am so confident about presenting my activities to my Residents, as we find it stimulating, both physical and cognitively

Twice a month I run an activity session in our Retirement Village. I am just so glad that I used Golden Carers whilst working as a Diversional Therapist. You have so many amazing ideas to work with.

 

Thank you so much for being there for us.

I did your DIY bingo game using the names of residents who play bingo and all the names of the staff; both first and last names. My residents love it! They are learning everyones names and enjoy it so much when their name is called! I love Golden Carers.

This site is my lifesaver, so many amazing activities and ideas. Makes my job so much easier when arranging activities for our Day Club for Seniors for the month. The sub-scription is extremely good value. Thank you!

We have been utilizing Golden Cares for several years now, and we honestly can't (and don't want to) remember life before stumbling upon your site. We believe our residents' lives have been enriched due to a diverse and exciting activity regime, much to do with your priceless resource(s). Thank you for helping us to care for our seasoned citizens. :)

Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.

I have recently started my new position of Lifestyle Coordinator working with elders. I decided to join Golden Carers membership for activity ideas and chat forums. It has been the most wonderful experience and helped me immensely with the endless ideas and activities, I especially like the monthly Calander templates. It is an invaluable resource!

Golden Carers is absolutely fantastic - thank you so much - we work with Blind and visually impaired groups in the UK and many of your activities can be adapted for this client group.

Merry Christmas to all those who use this website. It has been another year of fun and games, learning and development and growth in the leisure and lifestyle department of wherever you work around the world.

Thankyou to Golden Carers for having so many resources in the one place. Thank-you for having an open forum where so many of us can ask questions and gain some answers to bring new, exciting and positive activities for our residents.

We are in a privileged arena where our daily interaction does make a difference to others. Stay healthy and safe in the New Year, my team and I will continue to be part of Golden Carers for 2024.

I love, love, love Golden Carers - its my go to site for activities, puzzles, special dates, just everything.

Throughout 2023 we have been getting to know different places throughout the world with arm chair travel. The residents really love this and find it interesting. We try to have food or a substitute during the activity as well as our co-ordinator dressing up in traditional clothing.

Thank you everyone for your contribution, Merry Christmas to you all - look forward to new and exciting things in 2024.

I absolutely love all the arts, crafts, quizzes, riddles, and poems!

My residents, colleagues, and managers are so impressed with all my activity planning. Families are overwhelmed with what their loved ones can achieve. We're successfully bringing about and reaching the desired objectives through effort and skill, and they have the courage to try something new.

Thank you so much!

I'm thrilled to have found Golden Carers! I work at a church, and have used the activities for our bimonthly memory cafe, as well as with our youth group which volunteers in a memory care unit twice a month. I am actually the Children's Minister, so many of the activities can also be used with the children. Saint Patrick's Day fell on a Sunday, so the St. Pat's bingo/trivia was a hit! I also work part-time for an elderly man with early dementia. The other day I talked to him about doing some "mental exercises" in addition to his physical exercises. We spent a half an hour with activities from Golden Carers, and had a ball. He absolutely loved the exercises and said that it made him feel good that he could do them. His daughter was so pleased that I did this with him, and now Golden Carers fun will be part of my twice a week shift. Thanks so much!

NO PHOTO - I find Golden Carers invaluable in my work because many of the activities can be adapted and used for 1 to 1 interactions which is what my job involves. Working with one person at a time in their own homes.
Beyond the ( almost) obligatory walk, it becomes harder to try and find activities that individuals might enjoy, especially when someone cannot communicate his/her interests and carers/friends/family do not have the information either.
The free resources are particularly sought after as there is not a budget to cover membership/subscriptions.

I am so grateful for this website and the types of activities it offers. I use it everyday. The clients I serve are receptive to the programs offered. I never ventured into armchair travel until I found this website, and now it is one of the most popular clinics I put on. I also appreciate the Power Point presentations. I hosted the Cowboys and Cowgirls of the Wild West, what a treat! Thank you so much!!!

This site looks amazing and I’m looking forward to using some of the fresh ideas I have seen.

The biggest challenge I face as an activity coordinator is time and money!

I work part time but spend much of my spare time trying to plan and create for sessions. The free resources you offer will be a huge help towards reducing time spent searching for suitable material. I can already see that your resources match the needs of those I support
