I'm just finishing my first two weeks and what a whirlwind it has been. I'm at a small facility--only around 50 residents including the Alzheimer's wing. I'm really looking forward to chatting with other Activity personnel.
I've worked with the elderly and/or disabled in other capacities, but this is my first time as "cruise director." I spent a short period of my life bedridden, so I can completely relate to the boredom expressed by many of the residents. Fortunately, I live in a community with two universities near by, and have a lot of local talent & resources from which I can draw. That truly does make my new job a lot easier.
