    Hi Birgit,

    Thank you for all the wonderful resources. There’s lots of great content to help make interesting calendars for residents. I use your wonderful resources each month to build my program.

    However, I did notice in the The Fabulous 50′s quiz that the same quiz is in Part 1,2 and 3.

    Keep up the great work. It is very much appreciated.

    Regards

    Karen

      Hi Karen

      The pictures are the same however the questions throughout the quiz are different.

    Hello,

    Thank you for providing such a ‘quality’ and valuable service.

    In class – Dip L&H I have recommended this site as an ‘up to standard’ resource for documentation.
    If I may make a suggestion:

    Please set all links to ‘open in a new tab’.
    Currently, opening any of the links replaces the page that is opened.
    As the linked page is closed it also closes the QA page.

    Also, is it would be handy to have a ‘keep me signed in’ option.

    Many thanks,

    Kath

      Thank you so much for your comments Kathleen.

      If you right click on a link you do have the option to open in a new tab/window. (This may assist you until the others have been changed as that will take some time).

      I will also look into your other suggestions.

      I would like to know if you are able to provide more recent resources . Your Quality Dementia Care Guide To Practice In Residential Aged Care Facilities for all staff is dated February 2007. This is 11 years old , is there a more recent version that you can supply.
      Regards

    Hi Birgit,

    I was looking at the sweep form and noticed it is dated 2014 and I was just wondering if you could edit the date off the top of the Form and leave it with out a date so it can be used every year, I’m sure there is a way I could do it but I haven’t worked it out,
    Thanks for all you do,

    Shirley

    • BIRGIT HEANEY / Reply October 28, 2016 at 8:44 am

      Fixed now ….. I had changed it earlier but some reason it only changed it on my pc.
      It should be fine now …. Let me know if not!

      Thanks Shirley

    Hi Birgit,

    I was just printing out Close Ups – The Mind’s Eye sets in Discussions/Reminiscence and noticed in each of the 4 sets that number 7 is missing, last time I used set 1&2 I never noticed this but did today and went back and checked each set just to make sure.
    My residents love this so Thank you for a great activity.

    Hi Birgit,

    I have just renewed my subscription for another year and I am excited to see what will be added to Quality Aging.

    I was looking at the upcoming activities in the November calendar and noticed that you have Melbourne Cup down for Nov 3rd, Melbourne Cup is always held on the 1st Tuesday so this year it will be on Nov 1st, just thought I’d mention it.
    Thanks for your time and effort with this wonderful helpful site,

    Kind regards,
    Shirley

    • BIRGIT HEANEY / Reply October 2, 2016 at 10:23 pm

      Thanks Shirley
      Will fix it tomorrow. … must have been tired when I finished that.
      Thank you for your continued support.

        Hi Birgit
        It’s still showing on the actually poster as 3rd November for Melbourne Cup. On the front advertising it says the 1st, but when you actually go into the poster it’s the 3rd.
        Thanks for all your work.
        Vicky

        • BIRGIT HEANEY / Reply October 12, 2016 at 10:01 pm

          Will check in the morning …mine says the 1st when I download it….. refresh the page… it is on tomorrow’s to do list.

          Thanks Vicky

        • BIRGIT HEANEY / Reply October 13, 2016 at 11:06 am

          Hi Vicky

    With the event posters is there anyway that we can insert the time, date and place when we hold our events? At the moment we need to keep designing our own posters but they are not of high quality as the ones you have. This will cut our time by heaps. Especiallly this month with Melbourne Cup Day and Remembrance DAy Service….

    • BIRGIT HEANEY / Reply October 30, 2015 at 2:44 pm

      Hi Katja

      Am working on this for you. Always happy to help where I can.

      Thanks for your comments.

      Birgit

    For the quiz questions is it possible to have them not in PDF format as we put up the questions in our powerpoint slides and it would make it a great deal easier to copy and paste the questions? Love the cue cards as we work in a multi lingual village and they are nice and clear. Keep up the excellent work. Big thank you to Catherine Farthing for getting our Bankstown/Holroyd Group onto this site!!!!

    Hi Birgit,

    Thank you so much for your time and effort in making the lifestyle role so much easier, I love your ideas and have used so many of them in my role of activities co- ordinater at the retirement village I work for.

    I was just wondering if it was at all possible when putting up the event posters if you could include one with out the actual date displayed as well, so we can choose to use on another day, quite often we aren’t able to hold the event on the exact day but will hold it a few days later, I love the idea of displaying a poster for events and special days.

    Thanks,
    Shirley

    • BIRGIT HEANEY / Reply October 1, 2015 at 7:25 am

      Hi Shirley

      I’m pleased that your job has become easier and that my site has aided somewhat to that task.

      In keeping with making your job easier, I will add posters without dates for you.

      I will get October posters sorted for you today and then carry on as normal from then.

      Hope this helps.

      Keep up the great work!

      Birgit

    A great website still looking through all you have to offer. I’m a little concerned about you calendar of activities. I plan activities and special days months in advance when I click on July for some ideas you say you are still working on the page come back later. Is this permanent or still a work in progress?

    • BIRGIT HEANEY / Reply April 7, 2015 at 5:13 pm

      Hi Cheryl
      Thank you for your comments. This website is still very much a work in progress. As there is so much to put on and it is basically a one woman show I am working as fast as I can. Activities for May will be online tomorrow and then I will be working on June and July. I am having some time off work at the moment so the activities should be coming online more quickly.

      Thank you for your patience.

      Birgit

    Hi there,

    Being a lifestyle manager, December can be the busiest time of the year for us planning for Christmas then planning for the upcoming year.

    I was very impressed to recieve my newsletter form you guys and find a PDF format for the Australian Leisure and Lifestyle actvity planner for 2015, this has just cut my workload and there are even spaces for me to add our themed days and main events for our facility. Its A3 and I can put it up in my office, loving it!!

    Cheers guys
