Hello- some of the activities my independent residents loved the most is live music with cocktail /mocktail hours, muffins and mimosas in the mornings, exercise classes- sometimes actual physical therapists conducted these activities (yoga was a hit especially with aromatherapy going), mens activities- (pool and chips was a huge hit), cooking/baking classes, if you have shuttle services my residents loved going out to eat bi-weekly in a "lunch bunch" club, painting classes- i networked with a local lady who would host wine and paint parties who agreed to teach monthly classes for the residents- this was definitely a favorite :)
This website has been such a tremendous asset to me in providing such great ideas. The clients have enjoyed the picture bingo, quizzes and I am looking forward to doing word ladders with them for the first time very soon. I also print out crosswords and word searches and make up booklets for them to do in their rooms. I will be definitely rejoining.
