Hi, we do a 'welcome letter' when we have a new admission. it follows the rough format of: Please welcome Jane Smith to Room 1! Jane was born in -- and went to -- school. after school she worked as a -- before leaving to raise her family. Jane married Bob and they have 3 children; Mary, Tom and Joe. Jane likes knitting, reading the newspaper every day and watching the Bold & the Beautiful. Jane would like to attend exercises, quizzes, ladies group and concerts. Jane's goal for her time here is to make friends and feel safe. Please make Jane feel welcome at our home!
the letter has a few more details than above, just 1 page and has a photo of the resident and is displayed in our staff room from usually day 2 of her admission.
Thanks for the hard work you put into making our Jobs a bit simpler....This is such a valuable site for all Diversional Therapists. I can't thank you enough :-)
