I work with Memory Care residents who are prone to elopement; so, we usually take drives that don't allow us to get off the bus. But, our highlight drive every year is called our Donkey Drive. We have a volunteer who lives on a small farm that has three donkeys. When we drive to her place, she has lawn chairs out and serves lemonade and cookies. She brings her best-behaved donkey (who happens to be 48 years old!!!) out to meet the residents, and they get to feed him apple slices and pet him. Our hostess regales the residents with stories about how she rescued the donkeys, and they just eat it up. We also take moments to admire her flower garden, and just enjoy the fresh air. This year, we were able to take a record number of people from the unit, along with some extra staff (thank goodness!), and it was the most perfect day. There were so many smiles!
Thank you for all the ideas!
