Hello. my residents have been on lock down due to a covid out break .We are finally getting cleared and getting ready to open the activity room. I wanted to do something special for them since they been so bored . I was thinking of having the staff vote for king and queen and then doing something special for the winners. Does anyone have some ideas to share with me that would be great. Thank you so much!
Hi Nancy I don’t think I would pick a king and queen, because some of the residents might be upset that they weren’t picked Since found times day is soon why not host a Valentine’s Day party? https://www.goldencarers.com/how-to-host-a-valentines-day-party/4632/ If you don’t think you have enough time to do that, then, perhaps a spring party might be in order https://www.goldencarers.com/spring-party/4057/ Another idea might be to Have a resident council meeting and asked the resident what they want to do Whatever you do, make sure you thank everyone for their patience and cooperation during the difficult time You might even want to tell each and every resident why you love them, which is something I always did at a Valentines party, but you could do it no matter what party you have
So many great ideas in here. Glad to have found you, Golden Carers! Thank you for all the wonderful things you do to help all of us working with activities to better and to make our activities fun for our customers and us.
