I have what I believe is a unique situation. Though we are independent and assisted, we currently only have 80 residents, and many of them are younger, like mid to late 50's and early sixties and many are men. I have not been able to find activities to interest them. It has been difficult finding things someone in their 80's or 90's and someone in their 50's and 60's both enjoy. Most of the older residents are women and the younger ones are men. Having social distancing added in the mix hasn't helped. Suggestions Please!!!
I appreciate how accessible everything is to create worthwhile, mind-opening, engaging absolutely wonderful activities for our friends. Our calendars are overflowing with so much variety their is something for everyone, every day. Thank you so much for helping me to create days that always bring something for everyone to look forward to. They are engaged, active, laughing and living life to its fullest because of you there are endless possibilities.
