We do Footy tipping too in our facility & have special lunch as well we have a footy day we have a special happy Hour at the end of the season Bring in an entertainer and sing all the footy teams songs and we give trophies to the first three footy tipping comp. & medals to all the others that participate .You find some trophy shops when you tell them it is for a nursing Home they will give you discount . Residents love it & enjoy the competition during the season.
Hi Maria we have a local Ballroom group that come once a month to dance for us and if the Residents wants to join in they are welcome too but they love watching them,So find out if you have a local group in your area, We have started bringing a gentleman that does leather work with our gentle men they love it even the women wants to join in .Good luck Maria.
I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
