    Kensington, NSW, Australia, April 18, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Lauretta Kaldor, diversional therapist, sole trader, and self-publisher, has been recognized by Worldwide Who's Who for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in aged care.

Ms. Kaldor has 25 years of experience in aged care and 10 years of experience as a consultant. As mentioned on the website, www.laurettakaldor.com.au, she states "I work as an in-house consultant and trainer to recreation staff in aged care and have had more than twenty years of work experience with older people. I am also currently involved in providing activities for clients with early memory loss through Alzheimer's Australia NSW." Offering her services to an international demographic which includes Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, Ms. Kaldor self-publishes information resources for activity staff in the aged care industry. Her material provides suggestions, guides, and ideas to help provide the quality of life for seniors living in aged care homes or communities, often simultaneously suffering from dementia. An expert in aged care consultancy, Ms. Kaldor in October 2010 published "Engaging Activities; A 'How To' Manual on Providing Enjoyable Experiences for People Living with Dementia," She is about to launch her most recent publication "Besides Bingo..." a manual on activities for staff working in adult day respite centres. Her first published work "Keep it Simple" was written in 1994 and was followed by seven other manuals on activities for recreation staff who work in residential and day care facilities. Her resources are used by training organizations and universities throughout Australia.

With an impressive professional history dating back nearly three decades, Ms. Kaldor often serves as a staff trainer in aged care facilities. She teaches staff how to develop crafting and reminiscing programs or games for the elderly. Intelligent and creative, she has also developed guides for planning and documenting suitable leisure activities for clients in residential or day care facilities. She holds a Diploma in leisure and health for aged care and a workplace trainer certification IV. Understanding the importance of industry connections and collaboration, Ms. Kaldor is also an affiliate of Diversional Therapy Australia and a member of Alzheimer's Australia.

Rewarded by the response she receives from the elderly, who experience elevated moods as a result of her therapy techniques, Ms. Kaldor largely attributes her success to her husband, Stephen. A talented artist, he has illustrated all of Ms. Kaldor's published works and served as her main editor. She also feels her achievements have been largely driven by her love for, and support from, her three children and 13 grandchildren.

As the years progress, Ms. Kaldor intends to continue creating awareness, communicating a message of urgency, and advocating for aged care staff in need of diversional therapies, activities, and compassion.
