Review of the March 18th Meeting
The Lehigh Valley Chapter of the Direct Care Workers held their monthly meeting on March 18th, 2008. Some of the topics discussed were the recent protests by a Direct Care Worker at one of the long term care facilities, the need for training tapes in MH/MR, and some activities to do with older adults.
One of the Direct Care Workers is making a "feeling bag" for her clients. In the bag, she included something soft, some smooth stones, some seashells and some other items. The older adults can reach in the bag and feel the different textures. What a great idea!
