Good morning everyone and Happy Christmas eve! I am looking for Ideas for a New years eve Noon party at our assistant living. We only have 35 residents . Any Ideas would help. Darleen
Thank you, I never stop learning from this site. I always feel uncomfortable not planning for the New Year and never thought of doing a 'New Years Noon or New Years Evening' function. Our residents are always in bed and asleep at midnight so I will plan something earlier for the end of 2022.
Hi Jean I always had New Year’s eve parties during the day because it’s always New Year’s somewhere so I was celebrate with whatever country is having New Year’s at that time I would invite family members to participate as well and I always went around to the rooms of residents did not attend the activity I distributed hats and noisemakers and made a moctail punch We made a toast to a happy new year This was well received
Hi Tina I am not sure what you mean by writing exercises Solange had recommended these for improving fine motor coordination and improve residents’ dexterity could be offered through a series of activities like playing with clay, doing hand stretches; - flexing and stretching the hands and fingers to improve blood flow - and sewing large items with safety needles e.g. ‘sewing’ strips of leather around a frame Some simple coloring might help too https://www.goldencarers.com/colouring/
I just renewed my membership. Couldn't be without the brilliant info and activities you supply to do my job with satisfaction. The resources are brilliant and made my job easier, more fun and so much more interesting. I work at a day centre for the elderly and they love all the ideas. Many thanks!
