This was a great success. Residents loved the idea of sending their personal messages to their families and I got lovely feedback from them too. As soon as I receive the family’s message back, I read it to the residents and they were overjoyed, some had tears in their eyes. Thank you so much for this awesome activity.
Oh my goodness this activity has been an amazing success. We have 89 treasured residents, some low care some high care. We have been taking a picture of each resident, some chose to wear fancy hats while waving or blowing a kiss. I printed them out roughly drivers licence size, then stuck the picture on the message template. The residents then wrote their messages or asked us to write it for them. Once completed, we then scanned them and emailed them to the families and within minutes we had return emails from family absolutely delighted and thankful for them and the benefit for the residents and their families has been huge. Because we are in lockdown due to Covid 19 and for the protection of our residents, they have not been able to receive visits from family. Thank you so much to you all for this amazing activity.
