  1. Does anyone know a magician or a balloonist that would give us half an hour at good rates? I work in a dementia care home and have to arrange a birthday party. We want something fun and different but as you can imagine concentration is an issue. Id be very grateful for any ideas.

    Thanks:help:

  2. Sorry for posting this twice but wasn't sure where it should go.

  7. Hi I am an activities coordinator for a nursing home and am currently raising funds to buy a laptop for our home. E mailing relatives is something we do occasionally as we have to lend the managers laptop. Skypeand e mail is relativley easy so I cant see a problem with staff helping. Does the home your mum is in have an activities co ordinator? They should be able to help you.

  8. I take it you're being conned by Springfield group?

    I took my foster dog to beech house vets in high green their costs start from £90, it may be worth contacting them for a price. Cancel the puppy plan as soon as you can, as it rolls over and continues to come out of your bank after the initial 12 months

     

    yeah your right! how did ya guess?

  9. We have a 7 month old puppy who we want to have spayed. We are registered with a vets and as part of the puppy club we are in we get a 20% discount off all treatments. However when I enquired about spaying I was told the price with our discount is £160. Other people I know have told me this is extortionate and believe it to be untrue. I have been told that I can have her spayed at the PDSA even though I dont get benefits as long as I pay for it. Im happy to pay the full cost but im just not sure what that actually is!!!:huh: Ive tried ringing PDSA but always get the answer machine. Any ideas people? thanks in advance

  10. Hi all. Im currently looking to purchase a minibus for the residential home where I work. At the moment I am really stuck as I myself am not a driver and I dont know where to start! Im looking for a 14/16 seater minibus which has either wheelchair access or a lift at the back. At the moment I just want a few quotes but as I said I dont know where to start. The people I work with have Dementia and are currently limited to where we can go due to the nature of their illness,transport and the weather. I really want to give these fantastic people the opportunity to see different places and see new things on a regular basis rather than once a year if we are lucky. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

  11. me too!:) I am also part of the TARA and think more people should get involved with us too. Its for the benefit of the community yet not many people seem to be interested. If you wanna have a say about how money is spent in Longley come along to our meetings.:thumbsup:

  12. Hi I wondered if anyone has the contact details for Meadowhall Raptor Rescue? I heard about this recently and was hoping to get them in to visit the clients I work with who have Dementia. This would be really exciting for them and would really make thier day!! Unfortunetly I cant find the contact details just info on visits they have done in schools and such. Any info and contact details would be very much appreciated.! Thanks in advance!

  13. The question you have to ask yourself is why is a chap of 6 years old out on his lonesome?

     

    My thoughts exactly! don't get me wrong i don't want to turn this into a slag off the parents thread but I myself have a 5(nearly 6) year old and I wouldn't dream of letting him out front by himself let alone play out anywhere else by himself or even with his brother who is 8( nearly 9) who also doesn't go out front alone. Unless I know they are at neighbours playing they remain on our garden where I know they are safe! :(
