Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
I think seniors doing rap would be a kick. Just put up the beat and let us go.
But searching You tube music is a good idea for an activity in AL to do as a group . The activity employee could ask residents for songs or artists that they want to hear and then search for them and play them on speakers or even on TV . So many elderly either don’t know how or forget how to use technology .
Some of the activities are pretty lame . I have to admit . They need some better ideas.
2023 has been strange to say the least.
I have hopes, dreams, aspirations and desire to change many things.
Day or two ago dietitian on TV said how she was anti-diet being one of popular resolution for new year.
We all fail, so enjoy that slice of cake or chocolate once in awhile. We deserve it.
Wishing everyone peace and good health.
And most importantly care about yourself as much as you care about others!
You can remind her that she lives in a retirement community now where she has friends , activities and staff to wait on her .
I’m sorry but you will be repeating the same thing over and over again .
Joyful Xmas to all caregivers.
New Year to bring resolutions and peace.
Seriously, everybody is helpful, even constructive criticism is helpful, only few people could not tolerate it.
Reddit used to be the hip place for teens and slightly older, now a lot of those same people are in their 30's so I find stuff they say a little more relatable. It can be fun to scroll through the hot posts of the day.
Do you have Forums there that you enjoy that are normally "normal", or on the better side of normal like ALL of us at AC?
Anyway, I trust you! You can handle these folks with one hand tied behind your back!
