Hi Jan, your facility may suggest something. If not, you may write a sentence of two in the Care Plan explaining exactly what you are doing for each resident during COVID19. For instance: you may be offering moral support via phone, tests, and messages. Or showing up once or twice a day (staying at the door of the resident's room) and praising him/her: 'How well you have handled the crisis, Mary, You ought to be congratulated' - it helps stave off negative feelings of isolation and promote feelings of genuine care. Also, you may be facilitating ways to calm and entertain the resident with 'Activity Kits'.

Hi Mary Lyn, what a great activity! Thank you very much for the photos.

Hi Linda, I'm sorry the fudge didn't set. It probably did not cook long enough. I am not a big fan of the microwave so I do it in the non-stick saucepan. You could try taking you fudge and putting it back in a no-stick saucepan with a teaspoon of butter (medium heat). Stir constantly until the mixture starts coming away from bottom and sides of the saucepan as you do in the recipe for Brigadeiro, the Brazilian bonbon. Anything cooked with condensed milk needs to be well cooked to set properly. I do hope this recommendation solves your problem.

Thank you Sharon, we will take note of this information.

Hi Leigh-Ann, we did the same; font 10 for the calendar but then we printed it in A3 form and placed one copy in each seniors' bedroom. This way it made it easier for them to read and inform their relatives and friends when visiting.

Hi Geetaa, how nice of you to make the twidle muff. Chose a care charity of your choice and post it to them or better, visit the facility and give your generous work to a resident that does not have family or receive many visitors. I send love your way for your kind gesture.

You are quite right Myra. Birds also sense the drop in barometric pressure that occur before a storm and take flight. Excellent idea.

Hi Carol, LifeStyle Coordinators usually do a Monthly Activity Calendar. See this link for examples.https://www.goldencarers.com/sample-activities-calendars/3881/
All the best and keep safe.

Hi Emily, excellent idea! Well done.

Brillant idea Jane! Thank you and stay safe.
