Well our NYE part at noon went off well. They enjoyed the finger food, drinks, old time music, disco ball, party blowers, balloons and the countdown. We had all the residents, from low care through to the high care and dementia wing too. We had mobile and non mobile residents dancing in chairs, beds etc. They also loved the treat of pizza and ice cream for lunch after the party.
A Huge Success for our home. Thank you for the wonderful idea.

We have made a tree with all the residents faces in all the flowers. We made it nice and bright and placed it in the main dining room for everyone to see.
The residents love it and their families do too.
Staff are very impressed and asked if I could make another one for the staff.

Well our party is going ahead. I have all the decorations organized, have the music and light show sorted and am planning a special lunch for the residents after our Noon party. Will post the results after the party. Everyone is very excited, both residents and staff.

I think this is a great idea? Has anyone done anything like this before? I am filling in as the DT at my nursing home over Christmas and New Year and was thinking this would be a great thing to try this New Years Eve. Anyone have any ideas, my home is all High Care.

Im filling in and doing the DT position in a few weeks time and it will be the local rodeo time. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what activities that I could do and what I could do for a display decorations in our large main dining room?
