There are lots of examples of monthly calendars on here, have a look at the style you want and then at the demographics of your community. Consider : full month or weekly? Large Icons with Pictures? I suggest doing a quick survey of your residents to find out what kind of things they like to do. Have a look at their life stories, old assessments, program evaluations etc, and start your building block with a few Core groups. Bingo, Hoy and Card Games - always a winner Seated Exercises, Tai Chi, Yoga, Excercise with weights - Mornings Walking Group - Mornings You want to throw in a Craft of some sort, considering the time of year Card Making Movie or Coffee Club. Hope this helps
I just renewed my membership. Couldn't be without the brilliant info and activities you supply to do my job with satisfaction. The resources are brilliant and made my job easier, more fun and so much more interesting. I work at a day centre for the elderly and they love all the ideas. Many thanks!
