Hi Lindsey

You can take some ideas from this article

https://www.goldencarers.com/how-to-start-a-new-resident-welcome-program/5747/

I would start by giving potential residents a monthly and/or weekly Activity calendar and highlight some of the bread, cinnamon favorites, and ask the potential resident but their favorite are

Hopefully you will have similar activities on the calendar

Show them where are you conduct many of the activities

Talk about special activities, such as monthly birthday parties and event for the holidays

Tell them about friendship, clubs for residents

Highlight what you do at resident council meeting

Maybe have a little gift for them also

Such as the ones recommended in this article

Hi again, Lindsey

What about a small snack

What about a trivia sheet or a joke sheet with the logo of your facility

I was hesitant at first to sign up for another website for activities, but I have been pleasantly surprised. It has been fun to search all you have to offer and during Covid-19 your site has helped me and our other Life Enrichment Coordinator so much. I truly appreciate all you do and provide. It just gets better all the time. Our residents love the word searches because they are so bold and clear. We have used many of your ideas and I’m so grateful! Thank you!
