I co-own and operate a small assisted living home in Pittsfield, NH (U.S.A.). We consistently seek ways to improve upon our senior activity program, providing a diversified balance of a purposeful and enjoyable time of recreation, crafting, exercise and others to reach all of our residents. I must say, it's been a challenge. This past October I began researching options online and came across your site, subscribing for a year to see what you were all about. Let me tell you, you have not disappointed! Your site is a priceless resource that we are extremely thankful for. We find a significant increase in resident participation and look forward to the new ideas that each month brings. Our residents love the changes!

I’ve been asked to think of items to keep in a room for a family member to sleep in if their relative is on end of life.
I’ve got inspirational quote packs, bible, prayer books, poem books.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

A CD player with music is a great idea

We have a small kitchen island on wheels, with a keurig, that we stock with the above items and other things. It can be rolled right into any room.
These are great ideas
Thank you
