Hi Jo-Anne I have a similar thing happening at our facility. I call it The Wish List. Residents are given an opportunity to write down a wish they would like to come true, something they would like to do for the first time or one last time. So far I have taken a lady swimming in the sea, another for a joyflight in a small aircraft, a small group out for a chinese meal, another lady out for line dancing lesson and the next on the wish list is 2 ladies off to the gold class cinema. The magic that happens when their wishes come true is amazing. As I have promoted this concept to throughout the facility, the wish list fund has been given money donations, so there is no cost to the residents, its a fabulous program.
I accidentally stumbled upon goldencarers, it's been four years, and the site never ever fails to satisfy and create happiness throughout our communities weather they be assisted living or memory care. You complete our monthly gift of smiles, laughter and fun. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the many for your contributions, sharing and overall love to goldencarers! God Bless
