A little swag from your community can be fun too. The pen and notepad could have your logo. Other items with your logo could include a water bottle, or a reusable shopping tote so that if they are there for a short term stay, when they leave they have something to put their things in, plus every time they use in in the greater community, it's free marketing! Also, a channel guide for the TV is helpful.
Golden Carers has been a God send to me. The person before me left me winging it. So, I found Golden Carers in an internet search. I use the calendar, lots of the activity ideas, but the most appreciated is the different ideas from other members. Sometimes knowing what works in other facilities is so helpful.... I'm coming to the end of my first year, and can't wait to renew for another year.
